I need to set conditions to a field in a form. When I change the value of the field, if the value entered is greater than 0.8 and less than 1.71, it should pop up a message box saying "bad value" and set the value to 0.0

thank you

Hi fullymooned

No macro is required here. Simply open the table in design mode, press F6 and select the Validation Rule line. Add the line <= 0.8 And >= 1.71 in the valadation rule line and a message like "Bad Value!" in the validation text line.

You should also set the default value to 0.0.

Try that.
