Run the form in debug mode and see what's going on.

Sounds like you might have a When-Validate-Item (WVI) or When-Validate-Record (WVR) trigger that is referencing an invalid variable. Are you using Global Variables? If yes - double-check to make sure the variable is spelled correctly. This is the inherent problem with using globals - they only generate RUNTIME errors versus COMPILE TIME errors. Sad

If you don't have a WVI or WVR trigger, then Littlefoot's suggestion of running your form is Debug Mode is a very good way to find out what's going on. If you are able to run your form from the Forms Builder, you could also turn on Debug Messages (Edit -> Preferences -> Runtime tab -> Debug Messages) to see which trigger is generating the error. If you use this option, make sure you turn it off afterwards because it can be very annoying since it displays an alert with the execution of each and every trigger.
