Question: I’m working on customizations to the insert Activity form in
SalesLogix. As it stands, when you save an Activity and there are
required fields that are empty, a red asterisk will display. Because
the Activity screen is a tabbed interface occasionally when a user
chooses ‘OK’ nothing happens. This is because there is a required field
that is missing but it’s on another tab, not the currently active tab.
You can see why this would be a problem.
I would like to make the error more straightforward with a message
box that will tell the user exactly what required field is missing. How
should I go about this?

Answer: You will need to add ASP.NET
ValidationSummary components to the page to create a message box for
the missing required fields without adding code. Take a look at this
