2 part validation rule

I'm trying to create a validation rule that goes "if status = probated, reason field is required"

 

 Here is what I have but when I check syntax it says it is incorrect

 

AND ( ispickval (Status, "Probated")) AND (LEN (Reason)  = 0)
 Status is a picklist field and Reason is a text field.
 
Any help is appreciated.
 
thanks

The one thing I see is that you have too many AND's.  Try this instead:
 
AND (( ispickval (Status, "Probated")) , (LEN (Reason)  = 0))
I added parentheses as well.  I didn't check the syntax, so it might still need more work.
Good luck!
