There is a message you can trap on called CloseField. during data entry,
then, you can add a script to the field, card, or stack that does 
something like:

on CloseField
	if (field < 0 || field > 23) then
		answer "field not within range" with "OK"
		field = emtpy
	endif
end CloseField

This has a problem in that it doesn't force them to correct the answer,
although you can then trap for empty fields on a closeCard and and force
them to fix the card before allowing them to leave.
