Thanks, Jim.  I will have to work on this Monday and let you know how it
goes, will try moving the code to the unload event then and prayerfully
have good news for you.  Today I'm pulled aside for a totally different
project and am unable to work on anything else, so I'll just pull myself
out of this whitewater river till then!

'Fools rush in where Angels fear to tread' . . . . oh well!  :-)   I made a
decision when I first joined this group I would not be concerned about what
people thought or if I offered advice, whether someone would think I was a
jerk and how did I come up with that solution, or if I had a problem
whether I was stupid for not knowing the answer or any combination thereof.
Because sometimes we don't know what we don't know and we learn we know
things we didn't know, and we learn we can be stretched to a level we
didn't think if we just have a little support/guidance/encouragement.  That
is what this group has meant to me, is knowing I can jump in when the water
looks black and the bottom not in sight, that somewhere out there it is
like a tag team forms to solve a problem and nothing matters but the
successful resolution of that problem.  Our political affiliations, faith
or lack thereof, nothing seems to matter but getting the code right so the
function will perform as needed.   Anyway, don't get me started!  LOL

Thanks for your help, later, Cathy

Cathy--

It appears so, yes. As written, your Next_Click event doesn't 'know'
that the form's BeforeUpdate event has been cancelled, so it goes on its
merry old way unabated. You have a few options:

A) Copy the code from the BeforeUpdate event and paste it into the
form's Unload event handler.

B) Declare a module-level variable (Dim fValid As Integer), using the
BeforeUpdate event to set it to True if all the fields are filled in, or
False if any of them are left blank. Then reference it in the form's
Unload event handler, Cancel *that* event if fValid is False.

One thing I've noticed about you over the months: you sem unafraid to
jump into waters where some fear to tread. I like that... ;-) Anyway,
let us/me know if that doesn't do it for you.

Thanks, Jim - now they're going to the proper message per blank field.
Just need for it to go back to form instead of closing form so I can add
missing data.

My 'next' button says:

Private Sub Next_Click()

    DoCmd.Close
    DoCmd.OpenForm "LocationFilterRS"

End Sub

Is this where the problem is that it closes after you click OK on the
message box?
