Custom Validation on a Field

Hello there
 
Is it possible to use a Javascript function to validate a field, rather than use the “Validation Pattern” approach? I am Ok to write the function, however I also want to be able to use it with the Form Level Validation Settings (having the function run again when the form submits etc.).
 
I have seen references to the “Run custom validation script” option on a Validate tab, however I don’t see these.
 
I am using LiveCycle Designer 9.
 
Many thanks

LiveCycle is a different form environment than Acrobat AcroForm Tools forms.

The "Validate" tab is only available with forms created by Acrobat's form tools. It allows for all the necessary script processing and messaging in one place.
