I have a combobox that has a required field. I wan a message to appear when someone leave the field blank to say "You need to specify the project type to move to the next field." Right now,the system message is not very meaningful to user?

any suggestions...

Use the BeforeUpdate event procedure of the control to check the value and then display your message and set Cancel=True.

Hope This Helps, PH.
