What I am doing wrong?
For starters, not everyone can receive an attachment. I didn't.

Send the file to me directly, please: FMP at VirtualVermont dot com

Do the following

1. Set validation to "always"
2. in validation calculation uncheck "validate only if field value has been
modified"

It should work then.

Did you "click" out of the field that is being validated after entering an
invalid number? No validation will occur until you exit the field.
