A favourite of mine was a colleague who wasn't very literate (or hygienic). When he spell checked his docs in Word, if a word wasn't found, he'd add it to the shared dictionary. It wasn't found because he'd spelt it so badly. Anybody else spell checking their work would then have correct spellings

Multiple validation rules per field

2009-02-16 Thread WebbedIT
Hi, Can anyone spot what I am doing wrong? I have read the book and a few blog articles on this and think I have everything setup right but can't get validation to apply more than one rule to a field (processes first rule, ignores the rest). Here is my validate declaration for the field in ques
