How can you alter the wording of the Form validation error message?
You are using an out of date browser. It may not display this or other websites correctly.
You should upgrade or use an alternative browser.

I am very much a beginner in use of ASP, but I found that when I added an
update to DB ASP module using the DBIW, this code was generated:
FP_FormConfirmation "text/html; charset=windows-1252",_
"Form Confirmation",_
"Thank you for submitting the following information:",_
"add_to_guestbook.asp",_
"Return to the form."
' FP_FormConfirmation parameters are:
' szCharset (html character set) , szTitle (title) ,
' szmsg1 (confirmation message),
' szUrl (return URL), szMsg2 (return message)
The comments above (lines starting in ') are mine.
The function called is:
Function FP_FormConfirmation(szCharset, szTitle, szmsg1, szUrl, szMsg2)
On Error Resume Next
Response.Write "<html>" & vbCrLf
Response.Write "<head>" & vbCrLf
Response.Write "<meta http-equiv=""Content-Type"" content=""" & szCharSet &
""">" & vbCrLf
Response.Write "<title>" & szTitle & "</title>" & vbCrLf
Response.Write "</head>" & vbCrLf
Response.Write "<body>" & vbCrLf
Response.Write "<h1>" & szTitle & "</h1>" & vbCrLf
Response.Write "<p>" & szMsg1 &"</p>" & vbCrLf
Response.Write "<p>" & vbCrLf
For Each item in Request.Form
If item <> "VTI-GROUP" Then
Response.Write "<b>" & item & "</b>" & ": " &
FP_EncodeOutput(Request.Form(item)) & "<BR>" & vbCrLf
End If
Next
Response.Write "</p>" & vbCrLf
Response.Write "<p><a href=""" & szUrl & """>" & szMsg2 & "</a></p>" &
vbCrLf
Response.Write "</body>" & vbCrLf
Response.Write "</html>" & vbCrLf
Session.CodePage = Session("FP_OldCodePage")
Session.LCID = Session("FP_OldLCID")
Response.End
End Function
So I guess the parameter to alter is the 3rd one, szmsg1:
"Thank you for submitting the following information:"
If you want a multi-line message, try adding <br/> as a line break

Thanks for the help - but I am afraid I you lost me!!
I am not versed in ASP. What I am trying to achieve is to make the filling
in of the information" * Required" on this
page."http://untiemytv.com/Choice.htm". I can produce an error message
stating that they must add 1 or more letters but I want to say they must
fill in the information. Hope this explains my request?

Sorry about that
I thought that form validation created ASP which one can view and therefore
edit, but as I say, I am also new to ASP, and have never used the Form
Validation
Anyway,
1. I hope someone with more knwoledge can answer
2. I will try to see what the code does (for my interest as much as yours).
If I succeed, I will post back

Thanks for trying I still can't figure it out. I am sure there has to be a
way.

You would have to copy the validation script created by FP by viewing the page in IE, then paste
into Notepad, then remove the script from the page in FP, then paste in the script from Notepad with
your changes. However you thereafter have to maintain the script, as FP will not.

Trevor, if the ASP below was generated by Frontpage, you might find that
altering the message will not save, and FP will reject the save request
saying it was generated by a FP component, and will return to the original
code, and not save your changes.

Hmm,
I will have to try it and see.
Isn't there a way to create/amend code that FP does not alter ?
(I am sure that I did this at one time)

Trevor:
Normally in a DRW, you can update the maroon colored code in Code View and
save it while you are still in Code View. It's the gray colored code that FP
doesn't want you to edit.
