Main Form Mandatory fields

[patti]

I have a form with 3 tabs. The first tab is the main form. I do not want
fields field on the 2nd tab filled in unless all the mandatory fields are
filled in on the main form. What is the best way to accomplish this? Then,
the third tab should not be filled in until the necessary fields are filled
in on the 2nd tabbed form.

Thanks for the help.

You can disable the 2nd tab. The AfterUpdate event of the
critical controls can check if they are all filled in, If
they are, enable the tab page.
