validation for one field based on another
I'm going to assume that Field1 gets its values from a table named TblMenu
and the primary key is MenuID. Further I am assuming that Field1 combobox displays Text1, Text2, Text3, Text4 or Text5 but actually has the value 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. A form's BeforeUpdate event fires when a value has been added, deleted or edited in any control on a form. To do what you want, put the following code in the form's BeforeUpdate event: Select Case Me!Field1 Case 1,2,3 If IsNull(Me!Field2) Then MsgBox "Field2 Must Be Populated" Cancel = True End If Case Else End Select Steve "andrew w" andrew wrote in message ...
