Check for data errors in a form

Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003 automatically checks the information you enter into a form for data errors as you type. If a problem with the information you type into a form is found, you will be presented with either a traditional dialog box alert or an inline alert.

1. Type into the form.
2. Do one of the following:

   If a dialog box alert appears

   1. Read the error message, and then click OK.
   2. Make the appropriate corrections.

   If an inline alert appears

   1. To display a short description of the problem with the data, right-click any fields with dashed red borders.
   2. To view a full description of the problem, click Full error description on the shortcut menu.
   3. Make the appropriate corrections.
   4. To go to the next data error in the form, click Go to next error on the Tools menu.
