Default mandatory form fields

I would like to indicate (with a red asterisk) on my form that cetain fields
are required. They are required fields = "yes" in the table properties and
validation = "Is not null".

Can anyone help please - simply method if possible please, my Access
expertise is very limited as you have already probably guessed.

Thank you

Default mandatory form fields

I suggest using bold for the captions and normal for non-required captions.
