------------------------------
Thanks Michael, Jay, and Gil. What I did was to put this code in the business rules object checkrules():
IF this.obizobj.isFormHost() && is this business object on a form?
this.doestotaladdup()
endif
The code in doestotaladdup() is:
LOCAL lcRule
lcRule = "Totals don't add up"
IF v_invoice.ext + v_invoice.tax + v_invoice.extras <> screen.activeform.nTotal
This.Addbrokenrule(lcRule)
ELSE
This.clearbrokenrule(lcRule)
ENDIF
Sound good? Is there a property or easy way to get the form's name?
