Validation error message

Guest

Hi,
I have a form that has a few boxes that have an input mask on them so that
information is entered the way I want it entered e.g (uppercase) etc. However
if that requirement is not met and the user tries to tab out of the box they
get an error message that says: -

The value you entered isn't appropriate for the input mask >LALLLLL???
specified for this field.

Is there anyway to change this error message to something the user will
understand?

Thanks

You can use the BeforeUpdate event to process the input and provide your own
message.

Hi Steve,

I am not to hot on the code front so could you give me an example as to how
to go about this?

Cheers
