User input validation, no duplicates

Hi experts,

I have a custom dialog box that I use to get input from the user. In this case, I ask the user to provide a ticker, which is a four letter alpha string. I need to make sure that the ticker that they provide is not already in the db. I have a table of issuer details (tblIssuer) and the ticker is one of the fields (Ticker). What is the best way to go about doing this? My thought was to read the Ticker field into an array and loop through?Start Free Trial
