Hi Bruce,
Since NT6.51the pop-up message box does not appear if the text contains an apostrophe. Test by adding the following code for a field validation in a NetWebForm
Loc:invalid ='fieldname'
Loc:alert= 'Dossier de vérification invalide pour l''utilisateur'
I think the problem was caused by the fix in NT6.51 that was done to permit accented characters to appear correctly in the pop-up message box, since loc:alert ='Let''s drink beer' does not work either. There test with text containing both an apostrophe and accented characters.
Another regression bug that I feel is related.
If the title of a pop-up form (NetWebBrowse or NetWebFrom) has an apostrophe, the form does not appear. For an example, place a field on a NetWebForm that has a lookup button connected to a lookup browse which will allow the user to select values. In the field’s Lookup Settings, check the box for a Popup Lookup and in the Lookup Title enter: 'Sévérité d''observation'
When compiled, the look up button appears, but does not work. Change the Lookup Title to value without an apostrophe, and the pop-up browse will appear when the button is clicked.
I have added an example program to show these errors in my "Runtime Language Translation Issues." post.
