I have finally completed my form in designer 8 which turned out rather well but my customers are impatiently waiting for it to be sent, however the email submit function returns this message:

“At least one required field was empty on export please fill in the required fields (highlighted) before exporting”

I have not set up any required fields, and have searched all pages for one with no luck. How can I resolve this quickly?

Someting must be marked as required, or have a "null" validation test on it, which amounts to the same thing. The fastest way to check for this is to open the "XML" view of the form in Designer, and search for the text

nullTest="error"

The "Ctrl-f" key sequence displays the Find dialog.

Thank you Thom

I have one more issue with this form, the fields in PDF preview do not work but the completed Adobe form works fine now so I can live with that.
