Hi all

Out of curiosity, I want to know if I can change the help file that is displayed when a user enters invalid data. At the moment, I have set the validation rule and text, but some users have clicked on the help button and been given this standard message:

<Table-level validation text>. (Error 3316)
A table-level validation rule was violated.

I would like to have my own more friendly message there instead.

Any ideas ? Missy Ed
