I have a form with a number of text boxes and combo boxes on.

I am not concerned about the text fields being used, but I do need to ensure that the user selects a value for each of the combo boxes.

How do I write code that forces a user to enter select a value from a combo box before closing the form?

Thanks
 
could have a button that they use to close the form. for the onclick event add something like

If combo1 OR combo2 OR combo3 is null then
exit sub
else
docmd.close
 
Or use a variation of jaydeebetoo's code the form_unload event to set
Code:
Cancel = 1
if they haven't used the combo's. This will stop the form unloading.

Hope this helps
