Required Field on a Form

[StacyStacy]

Can I make a field 'required' on the form level and not thru the table level?

Yes you can by placing some code in your form's BeforeUpdate event. For example

If IsNull(myControlName) Then

MsgBox "Please enter something!", vbCritical, "Required Entry"
myControlName.Setfocus
Cancel = True

End If

This will test for a null, however if you have set at table level 'Allow zero length strings' to yes, then you'll need to also use the Nz function

How would you set it up if you have say 5 txtboxes and 3cbo boxes that you want to make sure something is filled in?

I have tried the , and the word and and I can't get it to work.


***EDIT*** I figured it out... Just use a couple more IF statements.

Or use the "tag" property.
