text box for input mask violation

[installer69]

Following on from my previous posts is it possible to get my own text box to pop up for an input mask violation and to get the cursor back at the beginning of the input field after ok is pressed.

I haven't read your previous posts, but one way to do this is to use the OnExit event for the text box. In the OnExit event, you would check the format of the data entered. If it is wrong, you would display a message using MsgBox and set the cursor to the beginning of the field using the SelStart Property. Caution: You might consider allowing the user to exit the field if it is blank. Otherwise they will need to enter valid data just to exit the field. You could always disable a button on the form if the user doesn't enter data that is required for the form or record.

If you are using Macros there is always a command to set up error messages.but they vary according to the problem.It could be set up using the command Message box.[Msgbox]where u have the options of setting its as critical or as a normal information.
