With the FormClass I made mention of in my last post, it has a validation function that checks and validates every field. As for which fields to (re)display, I just display them all. They will contain the values entered by the user previously so there's no real reason not to show them. > I like the idea of flagging the errored field, but this script > seems to be getting fat pretty quickly. I agree. Personally, I don't actually mark the field. I do, however, tell the user exactly which field caused the error and they, in turn, can fix those fields. Chris
