Required Fields

I have fields in a form that I set as required in my table. There are many
required fields. If I begin to enter information in the form, and then
decide not to (erase what data is there), I am still not able to close the
form because the required fields were not entered. Is there any way I can
have a field required, but if I do something such as decide to erase all the
fields in the form/accidentally enter data, etc., it will allow me to exit?
As it is now, I'm having to put information in and then erase it in the table.

If you decide you do not want to enter the record, don't erase anything.
Press the Esc key twice. (Pressing once cancels your most recent change,
pressing twice cancels all changes you have made to that record.)

Hitting ESC once clears what you just entered in the active control, Hitting
ESC twice clears what you just entered in the entire Form and should put you
back on a empty, new record that you can move off of.

Or:
Ctlr and the minus key (Ctrl and -) will delete the current record.
