Form with multiple fields required before update

[clloyd]

I have a form that based on the category the user chooses three fields are required information that they must input or the record is incomplete. I also want to display a unique message if they do not put data in the field.

The following works for one field but there are two additional fields that I require. For example PO# and Date

 
If Me![CategoryName] = "Travel" Then
  If IsNull(Me![ClientNumber]) Then
    MsgBox "You must provide a Client Number to use this category"
    Me![LocNo].SetFocus
      Cancel = True
        Exit Sub
  End If
 
 

Can anyone help?

If you simply put the code in the form_Beforeupdate event, then you simply put in If statements for all three conditions to test before the record can be saved.

Example:

Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel as Integer)
 
If me.fieldname1 = "Some Value" Then
     'do something here
else
     'do something here
      cancel = true
end if
If me.fieldname2 = "Some value" Then '... and so on
 

that way you can check every value on the form before the record is saved.

Hope that helps,
