Hi Peter,
Does it do what you want if you set the validator to display="None" ?

I'm wanting to just show the error in a ValidationSumma ry control, not
next to the actual TextField I'm putting a RequiredFieldVa lidator next
to. I don't even want the little "*" showing which field it is.
(strange requirement, but that's the way it is).
I've found that if I set the attribute Text="" (zero length string),
it always uses the ErrorMessage instead of Text. I need the
ErrorMessage because that is what is going to show up in the
ValidationSumma ry control.
Any ideas how to force the text to blank right next to the control?
Thanks,
