Livecycle

To specify an input format and validation message  

You can include a validation pattern that is used to validate user input at run time and a message to prompt the user to re-enter the password if the format is not a valid pattern. When a user enters a new password, it is compared it to the validation pattern. If the pattern does not match, a message appears.

Tip:	You can dynamically populate a validation pattern message with a value from a data source. This option allows you to ensure that users enter the correct value in the field.

1.	In the Object palette, click the Value tab, click Validation Pattern, and do the following actions:

•	In the Select Type list, select a validation pattern or, in the Pattern box, type a custom pattern.

•	In the Validation Pattern Message box, type a message that will prompt users to enter the correct value.

2.	To generate an error at run time, select Error.
