Forms Validation Message Box

[AFKAFB]

hi
on a forms text box i've entered the following validation rule
'>=1 and <=5'
with a message saying 'blah blah blah'
the message box was being shown earlier but now its not being shown but
the data validation is working.
its like i've turned off the messages but i cannot see how.
regards
chris

Hi
Sorry for delay in getting back to you.
There is no code as such as i'm using the data validation rule and data
validation text property.
The rule works and prevents the user from entering bad data but as the
message box is not appearing its difficult for the user
when the form loads the code reads docmd.warnings true
i also have the avtions queries check box ticked in tools options
any ideas
