Can you be a bit more specific about what you want to do?

Code:
$this->load->library('form_validation');I also found a ton of info at http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/libraries/form_validation.html

Thanks, Colin

Basically I want to tie into it so I can set rules for validation to run on my database when I save stuff (kinda like datamapper does)

If you want to use the form validation library for anything other than validating forms, I think you're going to run into problems. It would be about as useful as a wheel chair with pedals. Is it user input you want to validate, or programmer input?

Just the rules basically.
I found how DataMapper uses it so ill hack that up and use its methods...
