You might be able to use the LostFocus event of the control to test if the control has something in it. If it doesn't then set the focus back to the control.

Personally the on_exit event as it fires before the lost focus event; however, each will work.

Fields in a table, and controls on a form, both have a Required property. Setting either of these to Yes ensures no record is ever entered without a corresponding value for the field.

What you ask for is somewhat different. Be careful of that, as it has an impact when navigating through the controls on a form and can prove unpopular with users (as they can get stuck on one control when they are interested in working within another).
