Force field entry

[TheEnigma]

Hello there.

I have a form for entering invoice information, and I have 2 different currency fields. Field 1 is for AU currency, and the other field is for foreign currency. If a foreign currency amount is entered, then the user is supposed to select a drop down menu in another field which shows what foreign currency is being used.

What I would like to do is have a msg pop up and not let the user move forward unless they enter a value into the CurrencyType field.

The names of the field are:

AUSAmount (currency properties)
OtherAmount (currency properties)
CurrencyType (this field needs to be mandatory if "OtherAmount" has a value in it)

 

[PHV]

What about something like CurrencyType.SetFocus in the AfterUpdate event procedure of OtherAmount if this control contains a valid amount ?

Hope This Helps, PH.

Hi PHV. I don't know how to write code, so not sure what exactly I need to put in there. I understand about the set focus part, but not what else I would put in then that would make it mandatory they will that field in?
