Mike,

Unless only one CASE is ever going to be true, using DO CASE would not help you. For example, if both SomeCheckHere and AnotherCheckHere would return true, the CASE would fail you, because the first one encountered to be TRUE would fire, then the program execution would continue outside of the CASE. Because of this, you will need to make separate IF...ELSE...ENDIF statements for each field validation in this method. This way each is independent of the other and all of them will be checked.
