Default mandatory form fields

When creating a form I have several fields that are required and are marked
in the table as required = "yes" and validation "Is not null"

I would like to see the form fields based on that table with a red astersik
to show they are mandatory as seen on online shopping type forms but I don't
know how.

Can anyone help please? I am not skilled at Access as you might already have
gathered.

Thanks

Default mandatory form fields

Add an additional Label control with a caption of *
Set the back color to Red and select the font size you want.
