Dropdown Validation when empty
How do I validate a combo box. I have a standard value set, and if they
don't chose it the standard value would be there (i.e. choose something from the dropdown). So in validation I want to say if the field still contains "choose something from th dropdown), then provide a message indicating it is required to choose something. Any help you can provide... thanks.

On the Validation tab, use this formula:
