Making a text field mandatory

When you select User Entered-Required it should allow the email to be emailed.

To answer your question about formcalc I suggest a calculate script attached to
an invisible button that looks something like this.

if (TextField1 == "") then
xfa.host.messagebox("Error you left [enter text boxe's name] empty please go back and fill it out",1,1)
button=15
elseif (TextField2 == "") then
xfa.host.messagebox("Error you left [enter text box's name] empty please go back and fill it
out",1,1)
//repeat elseifs for each you need to check for emptiness
else button=5
endif

//On your print button set a click event to this.

if (button=5) then [print script]
else xfa.host.messagebox("error you left a field empty",1,1)
endif

//that should prevent anyone from printing, check the messagebox syntex I may have gotten that //wrong. I tried to do it all from memory.

Hi dk3dknight,

Thanks for the solution.
But now another problem has cropped up..its showing dark red lines around the borders of the fields.
What can i do to avoid them as they are disturbing.

Thanks,
Amie

The lines are an indication that the field is a required field. The automatic placement of these frames is an applicaion (the user's Reader or Acrobat) preference that can be set by the user.

As said above its the applications way of saying there required, its making the user AWARE that they better do it or else. When the pdf is printed the red lines will not be present.
