Validation Rule & Text

[Guest]

Hi: I have a text box on a form and when I enter "KTU" in this text feid I am
hoping to have a Rule & Text set up to identify it and reflect a message box
when KTU is entered. Is there an easy expression for that? Thanks.

CP,
Use the AfterUpdate event of the field to run this code.

If YourFieldName = "KTU" Then
MsgBox "Warning... You have entered KTU"
End If

Hi Al:

Would it soemthing like this:
Private Sub HRA_Directory_AfterUpdate()
If HRA Directory = "KTU" Then
MsgBox "Move entire Directory when moving KTU"
End If

End Sub

Yes, except that if your field name is truly HRA Directory (as you typed it), then
bracket the field.
[HRA Directory]
This must be done on any field name that contains spaces. That's why it's good practice
to avoid spaces in object names...

HRADirectory
would not require bracketing...
