Cathy--
I;m not sure why you'd get the error. Could it be that the text fields
are either not text fields at all? That is, are they some control that;s
not allowed to receive focus?
This may be introducing slop, but if you need to get the form up and
running, you can ignore the SetFocus stuff; that was just something I
like to include to help the user along.

Jim,
I could use a java jolt, too (or whatever caffeine source!), 'cuz my
brain just isn't able to handle more than one concept at a time some
days . . . :
-)
Here's where I'm messing up. Where do I put the .SetFocus? Tried it
after each field name in the code, but got same error message. Do I set
it up somewhere else?
Me.txtRequiredFieldOne.SetFocus
Me.txtRequiredFieldTwo.SetFocus
Me.txtRequiredFieldThree.SetFocus
BTW, thanks for foreseeing the null value problem if a user deletes
something. You must know us when it comes to data entry!
Thanks, Cathy

Mea <maxima> culpa; that's what happens when I post code without
actually testing it...and before I'm sufficiently caffeinated:
The following lines...
Me.txtRequiredFieldOne
Me.txtRequiredFieldTwo
Me.txtRequiredFieldThree
.don't do anything, and won't compile correctly! I assigned no
property, and called no method. What I meant to post was:
Me.txtRequiredFieldOne.SetFocus
Me.txtRequiredFieldTwo.SetFocus
Me.txtRequiredFieldThree.SetFocus
Sorry about that. Run, and see if it makes a difference.
(By the way: some may be wondering why I idn't just check the fields for
a value of Null. The reason is that a user can 'dirty' a form by, for
instance, entering a value in a field, then highlighting and deleting
that value. The field will no longer contain a Null, but rather an empty
("") string; checking for Null will report false, but the field will
still be empty, which may not be what you want to allow. [On the table
side, that's called 'Allow Zero Length'.])

Jim, what am I doing wrong? I pasted below in my form and changed the
field names to appropriate fields, then opened the form, left fields
blank to test, exited form, and got a 'Compile error: Method or data
member not found' error. It highlighted 'txtRequiredPROJECT'(replaced
my field name). I haven't used anything like this before, so please bear
with me, thanks, Cathy
