Required Fields (Adding New Account/Countacts) Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

What''s the best way to do it?

I was trying to use this but is not very practical

'Seperate method to enable the 'Save' buttons so we don't have to go through the initialization of all controls
Sub EnableDisableButtons
cmdOK.Enabled = (gIntOption = 2 And txtAccount.Text <> "") Or (gIntOption <> 2 And namContact.Text <> "" And txtAccount.Text <> "")
cmdSaveNew.Enabled = (cmdOK.Enabled And gIntOption <> 2)
cmdSaveClear.Enabled = cmdOK.Enabled
'Enable the Match button if any data exists for Contact/Account/Email/Phone/Web Address
cmdMatchRecords.Enabled = cmdOK.Enabled Or (txtPhone.Text <> "" Or txtEmail.Text <> "" Or txtWeb.Text <> "")
End Sub

since, if i wanted just to add a new contact to an existing account, the OK button will never appear since the required field is grayed out in the account info section.

Any Ideas how i should implement Required field for creating new accounts/contacts? Thanks in advance

Use the form call AXFormCloseQuery, setup a validation method like so

Function ValidateData() 'returns false if required fields not specified
Dim strMsg
strMsg = ""
if (txtAccount.text = "") then
strMsg = strMsg & "Account" & vbCrLf
end if
if (txtPhone.text = "") then
strMsg = strMsg & "Phone" & vbCrLf
end if
'Continue for all required fields you wish

If (strMsg <> "") then
strMsg = "The following fields are required before the form can be closed: " & vbCrLf & strMsg
msgbox strMsg,,"Validation"
ValidateDate = false
else
ValidateData = true
end if
end function

Then setup AXFormCloseQuery (the form's On Close Query event) as follows - AXFormCloseQuery prevents the form from closing if false is returned from it.

if (Sender.ModalResult <> mrCancel and ValidateData()) then

'Do whatever it is you do to save the data
AXFormCloseQuery = true
elseif (Sender.ModalResult = mrCancel) then
AXFormCloseQuery = true
else
AXFormCloseQuery = false
end if
