In ERExtensions ValidationTemplate.strings file I see: "ValueConversionException" = "The value entered for <b>@@displayNameForProperty@@</b> is not a valid <b>@@attribute.valueClass@@</b>."; The display name for your property is created correctly because there is a displayNameForProperty() method on ERXValidationException. There's no attribute() method on ERXValidationException, so it goes to the validation context object for an answer. If you don't have a validation delegate to supply a context and you haven't set a context manually, you end up with a '?' replacement character. > 2) Somewhat related to this...

It's also done as "MyEntityName.fancyBusinessObjectName" = "User Non Scary Name"; In some places. Not sure which will work for you. Ramsey
