Thanks for the help Max, I couldn't figure out how to use FormValidator, but after looking as some the discussions at the formencode site, I finally settled on making my own validator and modeled it after the FieldsMatch validator. Now it works just like I want it, I can check the value of a field and if its set to a particular value, I can make a second field required.
