Hi,

I am using a validation rule to check that a picklist selection does not match an sObject field (which also is a picklist field).

Here is the formula I am using:

(ISPICKVAL(Language__c,'English')   &&  $ObjectType.SetUp__c.Fields.Msgs_Lang__c = 'English')

The error message is not triggered so I checked and the problem is with the object  $ObjectType.SetUp__c.Fields.Msgs_Lang__c which is not returning its true value (the problem might be it is a picklist field).

I tried with VLOOKUP instead, however it does not support  picklist fields.

Any suggestions as to how could I compare a picklist selection to an other custom field on other sObject?

Thanks a lot!
