I suppose you could say that while the modal dialog is showing that the document is transiently invalid, however the only way that the user can progress is by providing valid data or cancelling the whole transaction. If the document can be saved, printed, processed or whatever it will be valid.
I don't see why sheets wouldn't work here. Simply drop the editor as a sheet with a "Commit Changes" button. When clicked this button causes the edit sheet to be witdrawn and the validation routine to run.
This was suggested before. The problem is that the sheet obscures the data in the document, so that (for example) if you're entering several items you can't see how far you've gotten if you get distracted (if you see what I mean).
Thanks anyway.
