Ken, that solution sounds like it would work here. I had already turned off the client side validation (hate those dialog boxes anyway). Interpreting what you said, it sounds like the key is to use the built-in validation feature, but to turn it off until you really need it to avoid it being triggered by other events like paging through a view or deleting docs from another datas ource on the same page. Another xpages expert, John Mackey, who has experience going back to the predecessors of xpages (Lotus Component Designer & Workplace Designer) has kindly offered to look at my code and offer his suggestions. He's done some pretty amazing things with xpages like a user-driven survey application which shows how xpage applications can go way beyond traditional Notes development without a huge amount of effort, at least once you "get" an xpage development. His blog and xpage examples at jmackey.net.
