This is what I do in several of my schools apps:
Required fields and captions are highlighted in a very bright colour together with a message for the end user:

Most users only need one or two such reminders at the most.

I do like that and will look at updateing the code I posted above.
Is that a message box or custom form?

If you are expecting only one or two errors, all the more reason to do it my way. You put the focus in the control you want to fix and he doesn't get confused. You can even highlight the background.
