It doesn't always prove possible, but if you look at the sub generated to support your rule, you may find the core code within it can be pasted within another subroutine where it then conditionally executes.
In your case (no pun intended), you'd want to imbed it in a before_ business object (don't know what app you are doing this in) subbroutine within a method (probably "Update") Case subsection.
It would then only be invoked to test your rule before the business object for your app tries to save the record.

Subject: [Vantage] Customization Question Re: Mandatory entry
To: vantage@yahoogroups.com
Date: Friday, September 12, 2008, 9:01 AM
I have created a customization where an ultra grid is displayed. This
is to be a mandatory entry field so I set up a rule that says that if
the vaule is "null" then the field is an error. The problem with this
is that when the screen first displays the new field is in error (red)
because the user has not entered any value yet.
How can I contition the error to occur only if they try to do a save
without selecting an ultra grid value...instead of having it error out
when the screen is first displayed?
thx.
