Hi,
I just want to say that Mahesh suggestion is definitely the way to go.
The FLTR-Run-If (with a possible ACTL-shadow) should read:
('Field' LIKE %[^A-Za-z0-9-_]%)
And then give you an appropriate error message.
This should work on any DB, as it has nothing to do with the database, it
is

I spoke too soon. Looks like
I need to check a character field to make sure that the string in the field is
alphanumeric and the only special characters that are allowed are a hyphen -

Hi Lisa,You can probably use one of the PATTERN at Field Level.Field has properties where you can do a "Pattern" of either "LOWER" or "UPPER" depending on your scenario.Then you will need an Active Link to validate other special characters.e.g. NOT ('Field' LIKE "%$%") AND NOT ('Field' LIKE

Thanks everyone for your help. I think I'll just have to take each character
and determine if it fits the LIKE criteria. The first character that doesn't
