Customised Error Message

[Reety]

Hello everyone, i've been a bit lost lately with database as i'm a new user to database in a whole and i was wondering if i could get some help.



I'm just trying to implement a "customised error message" that will pop-up if data is entered and it's invalid. (I've created a "query" and a "search" form which these two link together).

Many Thanks,
Reety.

Could try just using the ValidationRule property of textboxes and let Access do the messaging.

Can also use comboboxes and listboxes and restrict entry to values in the list. Again, Access has standard message for invalid selection.

Otherwise, depends how much coding you want to do and if you want to use macros or VBA.
