I have a form with database block. One of the fields is a numeric field. Users sometimes mistakenly enter a non-numeric value and get error 'FRM-50016: Legal characters are 0-9 - + E .'

I would like a more meaningful message to be displayed ie. 'Only numeric values 0-9 allowed.'

How do I go about this? Tried writing a function that kicks off from the when-validate-item trigger, but the above error message still appears.

Trap error in on-error trigger and display appropriate message in that.
WVI is no use as that level of checking is done before it fires.
That said the standard message is more accurate than your proposed alternative.
