Hi Rock,

You could specify your validations in the table along with the messages to be displayed. Assuming that you are using optimistic buffering, you would get an error when you save data which does not satisfy the validation rule. Here you coud trap the error, use AERROR() to get the information and display the message to your user.

You just need to code this once and it would be applied to all your tables.
