Textbox validation on unbound form

[Cloonalt]

I think this seems like a dumb question, but..

how do I validate whether a user has keyed into a field in an unbound form?

If(isnull(me.fieldname.value) then...

doesn't work. Even if something is typed in the field on the form, it returns a null because there's no controlsource.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Try

If me.fieldname.value=""

Hope this helps,

No, doesn't work. The field always returns a null even if there's something typed into it.

Thanks.

Which event are you testing the control in? On my setup the IsNull function and other functions return correct.

Try
IIf(IsNull([fieldname])

It was a dumb question. I was referencing the wrong control name. Thanks for your replies.
