Alpha Five Version 10 Feature Peek #13: Data validation

Grids within Alpha Five Version 10 have exceptionally strong data validation features. The video below will show you our data validation rules, data validation custom Xbasic at the field level, data validation events, and automatic honoring of field rules for DBF tables.

Yet another feature which is priceless and to be honest I never saw implemented in such a way it does not need any programming. Bravo again, Ron

The AJAX validations and field rules from dbf tables is a great improvement from v9. I'm working against SQL tables--do field rules assigned in an active-link dbf table apply on the web applications the same way?

Thanks for the comments, guys. @Chris Tappan, to answer your question, no, they don't work the same way. The grid component specifically doesn't allow you to use an active-link table. Active-link tables are designed for the desktop.

There is no point in using an active-link table on a grid because it's inefficient. The grid can go against the sql data source directly.
