the App Connect video for checking to see if a record exists before insert record action shows using HTML 5 Form validator but in the suite of Database extensions it shows App Connect Form Validator .. what's the difference and what product do I need to purchase to check if a record exists using App Connect? They are both $133

Hi Steve,
As the names suggest:
App Connect Form Validator works with App Connect
HTML5 Form Validator works with HTML5 Data Bindings.

when I follow the video for App Connect check if record exists, and choose validator, it tells me I need to buy HTML 5 Validator not App Connect Validator?

I sent an email with screen captures of what I am seeing vs the video ... if I need to purchase the extension can I get the black Friday discount ? Did not realize I would need that extension .. thanks

Hey Steve,
This is just an old message left in Server Connect. You can install the App Connect Form Validator and you won't see this message.

I just purchased and installed app connect validator and I am getting the pop up that HTML validator is needed?

I am still getting the "must purchase HTML 5 Form Formatter" even after installing the App Connect Form Formatter .. if that is what I need to check if a record value exists in the database before inserting a new record please replace App Connect Formatter with HTML 5 formatter ... thanks !

This will be improved in today's updates.

Please get the latest validator and server connect updates, the issue has been fixed there.
