Access Message

I have a form linked to a table. If the user edits a record a field
'reasonsforedit' must be completed with a least 12 characters, before
selecting the command button to save, print report & email report. All seems
to work okay it gives the required message to complete data but it is then
followed by an access message 'the setting you entered isn't valid for this
property' the user is then placed back on the form to complete data entry.
How do I stop this second message appearing any help would be greatly
appreciated. Below is the code behind the command button and in the forms
beforeupdate event.

first thought is to go to the table and doublecheck what is the field
property type of your 'reasonsforedit' field......obviously they are typing
in text and it doesn't like text...is it a number or date type field defined
in the table..??
