Hello,

I'm working with a form that contains Usernames and Real Names.

In this case, the Usernames are a PK field, so on the username item, I've added a when-validate-item trigger that checks against the table that I'm inserting into, as well as sys.user$.

My question is:
How do I validate the usernames against other usernames within the same block? They haven't been saved yet, as the "commit form" is last, so, the when-validate-item trigger doesn't see the duplicates, as it's looking at the external table and sys.user$

What's the best way to check?
I've tried turning on (yes) the Primary Key value in the property pallate, but it didn't have any effect. Is there an easy way?

Ron.

Looping through all records might be one way to do that.

You could always decide to do the 'commit' as you go as the 'commit' is currently last and making your life difficult. Alternatively, do a 'post' or maintain a 'record_group' that you populate as you go and check against it.
