I will protect a field for filling strange characters and 'BIG' letters (I don't know how you call that in the US) the field may only pass validation, as there are small letters and numbers. How can I define especialy validation for that field?? The number of characters (10) I've set in the db_def.

(In the US, "Big" letters are called "upper case" or "capitals." )

Try this

In the valid reg. expr. part of the db_def for the field add

'^[a-z]+$'

I'm not sure if that will work, but you can give it a try.

Thank you, this works, but I will also check, that the user adds more than 3 characters in the field. I tried this: in the sub validate_record in the script. This won't work, what can be wrong???

You need to use "or" instead of "and." (The length of a string can't be less than 3 and greater than 10 at the same time.)

Thanks,
kind of supid...

That's okay. Sometimes those basic logic things get forgotten when you're thinking about something else. Now you understand more about the mistakes I make in the code I give!
