form - save entered data only with save button

[cbrxxrider]

I have a form with four combo boxes and a comment box. I made all info necessary or a warning box comes up saying a selection is needed wherever it


is. (see pic)

The problem I have is if someone only enters partial info it still enters the record and messes up reports.

I created a "delete entered data" button for now that just deletes the current record being worked on and refreshes the page but this is only if they think to do so. Is there a way to make the form disregard the entered data unless the save button is pushed?

Use BeforeUpdate event. The event has a Cancel parameter. Check for missing data and offer user option to return to form and complete entry or to abort the record.

The easiest way to achieve this is with a Global Variable (Boolean). Only set it True with the Save button and check the variable in the BeforeUpdate event of the form. Either Cancel the update or issue a Me.UnDo if the Variable is not set. Your choice.

I appreciate the input. I'll look into the "Global Variables".
