Event for after form displays, before entry in tbox control?

[twgonder]

I believe we've discussed the tag property before.

...

Yes, I know what the tag property is. I'm not sure how you use it to know if a field is required other than seting it somewhere for that specific purpose.
Isn't there some way based on what is in the table property for required?
Which has a corresponding question I'll make a new post for.

Is there a simple way to see if data is required for a control? (I'm still foggy on how Access relates field types, length, required and format from a table into the text/combo boxes of forms).

you can use a public function in a standard module. this air code allows you to pass any property name

Function prop(fld As DAO.Field, propName As String) As Variant
'needs error protection if propName does not exist as a property, what that is depends on how you are going to use the function
    prop = fld.Properties(propName)


End Function

and called from your form with something like

if prop(Recordset(SupplierFK.ControlSource), "Required") then
   'do something
end if
