We have code coloring for error fields on a number of sites (I'm sorry but we are way to slammed today to dig up samples - let me know if you are still stuck on Monday & I'll get oyu sample code)
If you have a validation error, then just set the css on the form field to be red or whatever you like using JS. Just search google for css input field color and it should give you what you want.

I have done some searching so far just found stuff that puts up an alert where I really would prefer the color coding of the missing fields. -- Dan Stein FileMaker 7 Certified Developer Digital Software Solutions 799 Evergreen Circle Telford PA 18969 Land: 215-799-0192 Cell: 610-256-2843 Fax 413-410-9682 FMP, WiTango, EDI,SQL 2000, MySQL, CWP [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.dss-db.com 'I wonder why we say that people are of different "races".
