Mark,

I might have been a little bit too terse; sorry aobut that.

You will define that function at document level. That makes sure that
it is available to any field within the document.

Then, consider this as a development tool, you would use the console to
insert the function calls using the console. Let's do a little example.

Assume that we have 10 fields named myField.0 to myField.9, and we want
to get the function myFunct into the Validate event of these fields.
So, we would type the following into our console:

for (var i = 0 ; i <= 9 ; i++) {
this.getField("myField." + i).setAction("Validate", "myFunct()") ;
}

Then select everything of these three lines and press
(or (that's the key in the numeric keypad)). And that should
add this function call to the Validate event.

Hope, this can help a bit further.
