I'm trying to allow only lower and upper case letters, space, hyphen, apostrophe, and grave accent using:
"ValidateRegularExpression"=>"^[a-zA-Z '-`]+$",
"ValidateAsNotEmpty"=>1,

What am I missing to make this work?

Thanks

Nevermind...

I needed a refresher on posix regular expressions, forgot to escape the literal....

"ValidateRegularExpression"=>"^[a-zA-Z '-`]+$"

should be

"ValidateRegularExpression"=>"^[a-zA-Z '\-`]+$"
