I am trying to change the current error result for formmail. Right now the script redirects the user to an html page showing the fields they didn't fill in. I'd like to prompt an alert message showing these missing fields instead of the messy html error page. I think my biggest issue is the...

Ok, I didn't have any luck with javascript. It could be the perl file I'm using redirecting to HTML before it gets to an alermsg so it doesn't work. Can I just use $alertmsg in the perl file instead of using java?

Thanks! I will give it a shot!

So I could use javascript to make a message box and this would be ok in the perl file?

I am customizing formmail.pl and I would like to utilize a message error box instead of the pre-written html error page. What would the syntax be to prompt a message box?

Thanks for your help. I was thinking somewhat the same thing whereas there is input in the field, but it is a 'blank' character. I tested this theory in new records never touching the fax field and it seemed to work. For my existing records I will try the new string you mentioned testing the...

I have two separate fields right now, one for the fax text itself (=IIf([FaxNumber],"Fax:","")), and one for the actual fax number. I really haven't found any consistency why it shows for some records and not others. Maybe I should combine the two like you suggested. That...

Thanks for your help. I have the string =IIf([FaxNumber],"Fax:","") right now and it seems to be working. I say seems because it displays "Fax:" whenever a fax number is inputed but it also shows for some records that there is no fax number. Thats my next...

Yes, I think an Access expression will work for this but I'm still a little lost. How would I get a text result out of this expression? If it were: IIF([FaxNumber], "True) then what? I'm just unfamiliar with Access syntax and am having a hard time finding any program help topics...

I am a newbie trying to write a simple script that just isn't working for me! I am trying to create a text field that only shows text if another field has data in it. I've experimented with different syntax's and can't find a working one. My scenario: On a print report, if a fax number is...
