Default Better error message when a user enters a value in a form comboboxthat is not valid

Hi All

I have a form with a combo box that lists valid choices and has "Match
Required" = true.

If a user ignores the pull down on the combo box and enters invalid
data all they get when done is a message saying "Invalid property
value". I cannot see a way of overriding this message like you can do
with cell validation. This message of course meaans nothing to a
normal user and they get very confused.

What is the best way to handle this?

Chrisso?
