Sure. You can use this code as the custom validation script of the drop-down field:

if (event.value=="Some value") app.alert("Some message text.",3);

Make sure to tick the box to commit the selected value immediately (under Properties - Options), so that it show the message as soon as you make the selection. Otherwise it will only appear when you exit the field.

Brilliant thank you very much

Hi Try!  This is very close to what I need and I'm hoping you can help me.  I only need the alert to pop up when a selection is selected on the drop down if another text field (named Hrs) hasn't been filled in.  Is there a way to do that?  Thanks!
