Check for any data changes in a form with multipage object

[Guest]

I’ve created a form containing a multipage form. Each page of the form
contains multiple text boxes for user input. Prior to the user clicking to
go to another page of the form, I’d like to do some validating . I know I
could use the “on Exit†event for each text box, but prefer instead to
trigger based on trying to exit the page.

Ideas?
Thanks,
Bert

You could use the _Change event, do something like the following:
- mProcessing -- boolean: variable to track when we are checking a Page
validation during the Change event.
- bValidated -- boolean : variable to track if valiudation fails or not.
During the Change event (the new page is already activated), if the
validation fails on the oldPage, the old page needs to be re-activated
programmatically. The sideeffect is that it triggers the Change event again
for a case where we don't want to check validation (we are just setting the
active page back). This is why we use the mProcessing variable, to keep track
of that case. It is similar to the _Change event of a Sheet.... it is common
practice to set Application.EnableEvents to False, process the event, then
setting it back to True)

by the way, by exiting the page i assumed you meant when you click another
page of the multipage.
