Hi,

LC Designer ES2 has improved validation handling for forms. It does require the user to have version 9 of Acrobat/Reader.

So to avail of these features, you would need to upgrade to LC Designer ES2 and you would need to be happy that your users would have version 9 of Acrobat/Reader.

If not, then you can turn on and off the highlighting. However this applies to all fields. Also while you can change the colour of the field highlight using script, you cannot change the colour of the red manditory border. See: http://assure.ly/jiZ6tn.

John Brinkman has several samples of custom/scripted validation patterns, with samples:
