Keep form from closing

[Belinda]

I searched the forum and found a code to keep users from closing a form if
they had not filled in a required field. My problem is, the form closes
anyway instead of staying open so they can fill in the field.

Here's the code....what am I doing wrong?

Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If IsNull(Me!subfrmUpdateQ!cbxReason) Then
Cancel = True ' cancel update
MsgBox "You must select a Reason/Note.", _
vbOKCancel, "Required Field"
Me!subfrmUpdateQ!cbxReason.SetFocus
End If

End Sub

BeforeUpdate isn't the correct event. Try the form's Unload event instead.
