Hello,

In the Manage Profile section, how do I create a check on a required field for the data that is filled in?  For example, if I have Telephone as a required field, how do I make it check the data so that somebody does not fill it in with text but make them fill it in with numbers?

Thanks,

Drake

Hello you need to implement a validation expression in the profile properties, here is an excellent article which outlines all of the info you need:

http://www.siteexperts.com/tips/fun.../page3.asp

Here is some info from http://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorial...fault.aspx">this article regarding the Profile Properties:

Validation Expression: should be used for checking that the data entered is in the correct format. You can provide a regular expression to validate the data against (only valid for Text data types).  For instance [\w\.-]+(\+[\w-]*)?@([\w-]+\.)+[\w-]+ can be used to enforce a valid email address (somename@somesite.something).

For further information, simply Google ‘Validation Expressions’ or ‘Regular Expressions’.

I have tried this on a field that I am making (date of Birth) but it does not seem to validate the field. Here is what I have:

Property Name: Date of Birth
Data Type: Text
Length: 10
Default Value:
Validation Expression: (0[1-9]|1[012])[- /.](0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[- /.](19|20)\d\d
Required: false
Visible: true


Can someone tell me why when I hit save in any users profile and put anything that is not a valid date (ie, age like 26) it does not validate. Also I am using 3.3.5

Thanks
Rick
