Hi everybody,

I had created a form, in that i having two fields for username and password.
The problem is i want to make the fields as fill must.
if the user leaving the username field without entering anything
trigger must raised. Otherwise if we are entering the data it should allow him to go for the next block without any raising of triggers.

can anyone help me to come out from this problem.

I'm afraid you didn't understand what Cookiemonster told you - simply set item's REQUIRED property to YES.

I wouldn't know. As far as I can tell, Forms itself can't do that - you might set item color red (or any other color) (with SET_ITEM_PROPERTY), but just its border ... no idea. Using Java, perhaps, but I really don't know anything about it.
