Hi,



I have a situation where there are broken "required field" rules on the form. But the controls with errors are not visible, because those controls are part of nonactive tab. So, even though users do get "Broken Rules" notification, they can't see error message next to the controls where their attention is required.

Short of redesigning a form and getting rid of tabs, Do you have any suggestions on how to deal with this scenario?

Thanks for your reply everyone.

In case someone else is looking for similar solutions, I'd like to share another idea:

Call .CheckRules when user makes a control with broken rules not visible (e.g. user changes tabs) . If broken rules exist for a specific BO, display an InfoBox notification with broken rules. This way user is informed of broken rules as he clicks through the tabs. I just implemented this, it looks good and it's user friendly.

Thanks.
