Required text fields

[egoerzen]

I'm trying to make a couple text fields required before printing a form.  I tried choosing "User Entered-Required" in the Value tab, and checking the "error" box in the validation pattern area, along with a message, but if I tab over the field, it doesn't populate anything to say this field is required.  Can anyone help?

Thanks,

The mandatory field check does not kick in until a submit operation is done. printing is not a submission action. You couldl use the prePrint event to check these fields instead.
