wrong dct validation

[Alberto]

I have a form in which I use some of the clients fields.
Theres one field in the clients table called password that is check as requeired in the dct but it is not use in the form and even if I set the validation to NO it still validate the field and I cannot save the form.

Hi Alberto,

I think what you are saying is that it is marked as required in the dict, but on your form you want to treat it as "not required".

In this case, you probably also do not want to overwrite the existing value if the field is left blank.

If so do not put the field on the form. Rather put a local-pad variable on the form, and then move the value to the password field only if the user puts something in there. (In ValidateRecord routine).

Hi Bruce,
The field is marked as required in the dict
The field is NOT on the form and the form is validating that field.

please post an example so I can duplicate and fix.
