Hi, everyone. I am having difficulty with the following: I have a form with several RequiredFieldValidator controls on it. My user can take path 'A', down which all of these apply, or path 'B', down which only some of them apply. How can I 'disable' some of my validators (not all) so that when the form is submitted, these empty textboxes don't stop me? This is different from setting the CausesValidation property of a Cancel button to false. Thanks for any help! Steve--

Do not use validation controls. Use JavaScript.
Have a look at code snippet,
...
<script type="text/javascript">
function DoSubmit() {
var btn = document.activeElement;
if (btn.value == "A") {
alert("Do this");
return false;
}
else
if (btn.value == "B") {
alert("Do this");
return false;
}
return true;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server" onsubmit="return DoSubmit()">

Have you tried ValidationGroup property.?
Validation groups allow you to organize validation controls on a page as a set. Each validation group can perform validation independently from other validation groups on the page.
Check the following links.
