Hi,
Is it possible to do this with an advanced rule on the form?
form validation doesn't seem to work on a list view, a data field has a pattern (Whole numbers), but if a user enters a alaphanumeric and clicks submits, it allows the user to submit, but you get k2 type error boxes.
Is it possible to say that when the user clicks submit, use a rule to check textbox contents to see if its is NOT Numbers, if so, then stop?

You can validate on a list, why can't you do it? You just validate before updating the list. If it's an editable list this would be on the add/edit line. In other words, before adding or updating the list, check if the field on the add/edit row passes validation. Then you can use the "alphanumeric" validation pattern.
But to answer your question, you can't do it in advanced condition as-is, as far as I can think of. You'd have to do the check before.
So if this were me, I'd make a hidden checkbox "Is TextBox Alphanumeric", then create an expression for it using a regular expression. You can just copy & paste the one from the alphanumeric validation pattern.
Then on the submit button you add a rule to check if the checkbox is true or false. If it's true, submit the form. Else, return an error message.
