Whats the easiest way, when inputting data in a form, to not allow the user to continue until they've filled out all required boxed?

Thanks

A common way is to enforce all the validation rules in the BeforeUpdate event procedure of the form, playing with the Cancel parameter and the SetFocus method.

Hope This Helps, PH.
