Default Over ride Default screen tip for mandatory fields

HI,
I have a schema generated in Infopath.
Ther are few elements which are required and also of particular datatypes(numeric,decimals ,text etc).

When these elements are put on the form and previewed , the schema validations displays default Screen tip.
for e.g : For integer element scrren tip is " Only integers allowed" , for decimals it states "only numbers allowed".

Now what i want to do is to modify these default screen tips to customized ones.("Enter value greater thanor equla to zero" ..etc)

IS it possible to override these screen tips without creating any additional Data validations rules ?

I would appreciate if you could resolve my issue at earliest. As i am really stuck up with my work.

Will be eagerly waiting for ur mail.

Thanks
Amish

Thanks a lot Virgul for ur prompt reply.

Yes it is working.
U see i am very much new to this.:-))))))
Thanks a lot.

I have actually 2 more issues which no one was able to answer.
I am confident that u can help me with that.

Firstly ,Is it possible to sort Drop-Down List box alphabetically?
The secondary datasource used for populating drop-down is a Lookup.xml file which does not have data sorted alphabetically.

Secondly , is it possible to link different viewws in same infopath forms with a hyper link?
I mean if i have 2 modules(views)
On click of link ,the particular view should open.
Is this possible?

I would be very glad & Happy if u can help me with this asa i am preparing an estimate for this.

Thanks in advance.
Sorry for troubling you.

It would be great if u could mail me ur email address.

Thanks again.

Regards,
Amish

Hi Virgul,
           This is regarding the Overriding of ScreenTip for various control.The solution that you gave works for all controls except DropDown Control.However DropDown control does not have any attribute like "screenTip" where by we can Override the defaoult text for this control.

Is this possible for DropDown controls?

Thnaks & Regards,
Amish
