Select or deselect Allow user to override validation. If you deselect
this option then you force the user to enter data in the selected
field. Otherwise, users can choose to override the warning that
appears if they enter either no or inappropriate information in
a field (such as five instead of 5 in a Number field).

Click OK to apply the changes and close the dialog box.
Choose Object Definition... in the Format menu to open the Comb
Definition dialog box when a comb object is selected.
This dialog box contains most of the same options as the Fill Text
Definition dialog box, but with these additions:
• It contains an Interpret As drop-down list instead of a Format
drop-down list.
• It contains an Elements section.
• It contains a Fill Right to Left option.
These options are described in this section. See "Defining a Fill Text
Object" on page 5-17 for detailed information on the other options.
Interpret As Drop-Down List
The Interpret As selection determines the way information entered in the
comb field will be used when searching, sorting, importing, and
exporting. Available options vary according to the Type selection.
For example, suppose you select Number in the Type drop-down list and
0.00 in the Interpret As drop-down list. If you enter 1234 in the field in
fill view, OmniForm would interpret this number as 12.34 even if the
comb did not contain a decimal point as a prefill element. A search for
12.34 would return this record.
