    I have a Short Text field that is validated as numeric, but I need to prevent someone from entering a zero in this field. Can I set an error condition if this happens?

    Filed Name is "Number of Adults Attending at $20 each"

    Thanks,

    Mike E.

    Unfortunately it is not possible to prevent users from entering zero but you can add condition to check if the value of the text box is zero. If it is zero, you can show a message is form and hide the submit button of form.

    Please check the following cloned form and see if it works as expected:   https://form.jotform.com/80741919147967 Feel free to clone this form for a closer look. The following guide should help you in form cloning:   https://www.jotform.com/help/42-How-to-Clone-an-Existing-Form-from-a-URL

    Hope this helps.

    Do get back to us if you meant to ask something else.

    The cloned Form is the link given by my colleague, and it is not located in your my list of forms.

    Copy this URL and paste it in your Import Form.
