John, what you've described is a feature of the GUI; the ability to click through prompts in any order. If there are mandatory fields you shouldn't be able to save the record until those fields have a value, but if those fields are not mandatory the validation may never run. This can, of course, create some madness when you have a validation process or PA on a field that is setting up stuff for something to follow later. The short answer, though not a good one, is "don't do that". In GUI each prompt has to be considered completely standalone knowing that anyone can click to it from anywhere. It's a completely different programming paradigm than what we have historically done with green screens.
Oh, and it happens in character mode as well when the mouse is used to click through to fields. _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
