    Best way to validate

    I have a form with wish I wish to validate the following chart where x's are invalid entries. what would be the best method of validation? I tied to Canoncate the fields then run a simple validation but can't seem to get it to work... should I use subforms that only list the valid choices for each header? thanks in advance

    Would suggest you need to eliminate the Invalid Entries first

    Are you asking how to validate what a user enters? I'd have a table of valid combinations:

    ASQ FCC
    ASQ GFDC
    ...

    The you can simply see if the combination exists to be valid, or use cascading combos:
