Bob,
Couple of ways to do this: 1.) Change the Base Enum so the first value is blank. [Not Recommended] 2.) Create New Base Enum, that is the same as old, except with blank and change the field to extend from that one. [Ok] a.) Add code that would check on ValidateWrite() to see if blank is selected and if so do not allow write, and throw error 3.) If PREPAID is not a valid option for you at all, change the Text value / label for that enum element to "DO NOT USE" [something like that], and add code to check and throw error if used. [50/50] If I were to do it, I would do number (2) but then you have to realize that you are modifying this, document it, so that on upgrades you make sure this gets carried over. thanks, J.

How can I change this to leave the field blank and force the user to drop down and select one of the choices. I thought this would be an easy fix, but I cant figure this out.
