Or perhaps it should be 'tips I'd forgotten'
Prompted by another post on this forum, in an idle moment I dug out some of my early applications and was reminded of this tip
The format property has four states positive;negative;zero;text - and nulls are interpreted as text
so for required fields for example, format the relevant control as
;;;[Red]"This field is REQUIRED"
acts as a reminder to users (still doesn't take away the need to verify it has been completed)
