Figured this puppy out at last...
I added two buttons on my form. One is set as a submit button (Submit) and one is a regular button (Validate). Behind the click event on the Validate button I do all my validation checks etc.. and if every thing I need to be filled in is correct I call the following Submit.execEvent("click");
In the form guide properties I set the following properties:
Submit Form: Guide
Submit Button: Validate
Thats it, hopefully someone finds this useful!!
