In sharepoint I have an Issue List that has mutiple &nbsp;text fields and a dropdown for approval. I would like to prevent the Approval field from being set to approved if the two text boxes are empty (i.e. cost, price..). &nbsp; I can't set the field to be one of the required fields as the person who enters that request is not the one who sets it to approved. Any suggestion on how complete this step?<br />

thanks.<br />

Prevent drop down selection base on other value

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
