So I'm doing validity checks on names, and in general I want the data
enterer to pause and think about whether the name really SHOULD have
a space in it. For example, it's OK for "Mary Beth" but not for "John
Q." (where the "Q." should go into a different field). Why would I do
this? So I can address letters to "Dear Mary Beth" and "Dear John"
without sounding like a dork. So I want to DISCOURAGE spaces while
still allowing them where relevant.
At the same time, I want to check to be sure that there are
absolutely no return characters. This should not be optional; I want
to PROHIBIT them 100% of the time.
Unfortunately, FMP seems to provide me with only 1 validity-checking
opportunity, and it forces me to select either "challenge" or "prevent".
Am I reading this aright? If so, is there a work-around that lets me
have both my cake AND my ice cream?
