Hi!



I'm having the same problem.



I have read several topics discussing this issue but have not found a simple solution. The submit button automatically checks for required fields so it doesn't make sense that it is so complicated to set the print button to do the same.



I'd appreciate any suggestions.



Thanks,

Hi,



you can use execValidate Function to validate your form.

execValidate returns true or false.



if you set the "validation Script message" and "Empty message" in the properties of your required field so the execValidte function will show a messagebox with the message.



for example



form1.execValidate(); //validates the whole form



in my form the form1 is the root element of the tree.
