Hi, We need to validate some attributes like telephonenumber in the FIM portal. So we have given some regular expressions for validating them. In the user edit page when the value of attribute is entered wrongly, it throws an error before we go to next page. But it is the message for all attribute validations i.e "Invalid Syntax". Is there any way that we can show different types of error messages for each attribute validation. Can anyone provide some inputs on this...hima

Have you tried setting a value for "Hint" in your RCDC? See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee534918(WS.10).aspx#BKMK_CommonProperties ... this as well as the description text in your attribute binding are about as far as it goes I think.Bob Bradley, www.unifysolutions.net (FIMBob?)
