APEX 4 Multiple Validation on one Item - Stop after single Failure

Question

Hi
I'm trying out the fantastic new features of APEX 4 - Well done to the APEX team!!
Using page item validation, I've applied three validations ('cos that's how I think it works) to a page item.
1. Check if the value entered is numeric
2. Check if the value of the item is less than a stipulated minimum
3. Check if the value of the item is greater than the stipulated maximum
This works fine if the value entered is a number, and the min and max validations correctly return the message that the value is too small or large respectively.
But if I enter some text (non numeric), the the first validation correctly identifies that the value is not numeric, but I then get an ORA sql error complaining that the sql comparison of the value and the stipulated minimum fails - because the value entered is not numeric.
Is there any way of halting the validation process (i.e. skip validations 2 and 3) if number one fails?
Does this in any way relate to the validation option "AlwaysExecute"?
Thanks
Mike

Hi Mike,
you can set the condition at validation 2 and 3 to "don't execute when there are already inline errors".
