I am creating a form to add a new product to the tblProduct. There are many
restrictions on what data is required so I decided to use a form that is not
bound to the table. I will let the user enter data in each field, then we he
clicks the "Add Product" button, I will validate that all required data is
there, the field values all make sense and do other processing that I need in
related tables, etc. The issue is, that I would like to have some validation
checking on the fields as he is entering. For example, if a field should be
a currency value, it should require that. Is there a way to have Access do
that for each textbox control on the form without binding the control to the
table tblProduct ? I suppose I could create a dummy table with the same
field names and bind the form to that, but that seems a little Klugey.
Thanks for any ideas on this.
