Hai,

I have a query regarding MS-Access Forms,

I am coding my access form wherein i got to check that the textbox shouldn't be empty when its relevant text box is entered with some value.
if it is empty, the control must be focused back to it.

the code i have written is,

Private Sub Type_of_Transfer_LostFocus()

If Type_of_Transfer.Text = "" And Transfer.Enabled = True Then
Type_of_Transfer.SetFocus
MsgBox ("Select the type of transfer from the list")

Else
add.SetFocus
End If

End Sub

Please help me out in validating this perfectly.
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
Try this:

Private Sub Type_of_Transfer_Exit(Cancel As Integer)

If IsNull(Type_of_Transfer) Then
MsgBox ("Please enter a value in the selected field.")
Cancel = True
End If

End Sub
