Table validation for empty fields

[slufoot80]

when I am entering data in a form I want to have a pop up messages that will force me to enter data or to check and make sure the field is not blank
I have set my validation rule and validation text but it only gives me the error when I try to go to a new record and I want it to pop up when I try to tab to the next field.

You can try the lostfocus event

Presumably you have a text field that you don't want people to skip over, or something like that.

if you check the actions of the form, you'll find OnLostFocus. essentially, this means when you leave the field. You can put code in this function to check that the field is not null. If the field IS null ... THEN use the popup with the appropriate message.

Good luck
