validation rules and text

K

Kazlou

I have a yes/no field on a employee form that if no, I want a warning to come
up but the inputer to be able to continue. Then a report will be done later
listing all the 'nos'.
When I sent up the rule as 'if no' and the warning in the validation text,
it works in that the warning comes up but then everything locks. I can't
delete or change the text to continue, I still get the warning and I can't
save the record.
Any help would be great.
Thanks.

A validation rule won't work for this: either the record fits the
rule, and you can save it; or it doesn't, and you can't.

Try using the Form's BeforeUpdate event instead.
