Hi Experts,
I have a text box in a form that I want to accept email addresses only.
Is there a way to do this? I tried the conventional validation screen,but
nothing there that I can figure out.

Thanks for taking the time to help,

Major,

I've not done this for FP, but in Excel programming for Visual Basic
I've used the "regular expression" test
IF LIKE "?*@?*.?*" Then
whatever
END IF

This checks to see if there is any number of any character followed by
"@" followed by any number of any characters
followed by "." followed by any number of any character. I imagine you
could do the same thing
in JavaScript.

I'm a newby here, so you will probably get better advice...
