Hi Guillermo, I'm not sure where the whitepaper has been moved to, but this link will take you to BMC's Q&A on this. http://supportweb.remedy.com/kmspublic/KM-000000003286.htm (I can't locate a more recent version than ARS4.0, but the concepts should be pretty similar under more recent versions)

Greetings from Mexico -----Mensaje original----- De: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] En nombre de Eric Cleereman (IT) Enviado el: Miércoles, 26 de Abril de 2006 02:33 p.m. Para: [email protected] Asunto: Re: Validate words Hi Guillermo, To disallow a single character, you could require the data to match a pattern (under the field properties tab). Wildcards can be used for the pattern, so the following pattern would require a string at least two characters long: %__% You could extend that to %__________% for a minimum of 10 characters, or so on. As far as invalid words go, Remedy has a whitepaper available on how to integrate spell-checking. You could implement that, then tweak the workflow to not allow submit or modify unless the spell-check find no invalid words. The issue with the above would be: If the end user adds the invalid word to their dictionary file, it would be considered a valid word at that point. You could mitigate that by pushing a dictionary to the user at each logon via a run process.

How can I validate that a user types a correct Word in a character field??, for example, not accept only one punctuation character (comma, point, etc), or only one letter, or not valid word ("nnnn", "aaaa" for example) Any idea?
