Hi,
When the save button is pressed on a webform and an error is detected, I need to return to the tab on which the error occurs. I can only do this from the last tab - so the field validation won't help. How can I return the user to the wanted tab from the ValidateUpdate routine i.e. after the ValidateRecord routine is called?

...or perhaps I should do the form validation on a field on tab 1 so that the error comes from there and the form is automatically set back to tab 1?

do you have "validation on next" for the wizard on or off?
cheers

Yes it's on. Otherwise it would go right to the end before the errors are picked up when pressing save.

Hi Thys,
I've tweaked the Example 57 (Tabs) to show what I _think_ is what you're doing. (This will be in the 5.34 build).
However, as I understand it,
you are doing some custom validation in the ValidateRecord routine -
ie you're doing this when the user clicks on "Save" (or Finish).
The code I added (to the end of the ValidateRecord routine) goes something like this;
! for some reason I only want to check this checkbox here, not earlier.
If loc:field2b = 0
loc:Invalid = 'loc:field2b'
loc:field2b:IsInvalid = true
loc:alert = 'Tick that you support the Stormers'
loc:InvalidTab = 1 ! tabs are numbered from 0
End
Note the addition of the loc:InvalidTab value, tabs are numbered from 0, so in this case I want to go back to the second tab (ie tab number 1).
HTH
cheers
