MS Access Text Box Custom Error Message

Asked by TylerDerden in Access Coding/Macros, Access Forms

Tags: , , , ,

I have a text box called Txt_Date_Opened.

Rather than have the standard error message that if a use does not enter the proper date I would like to prompt with a more helpful message such as,  "Please enter a valid date in the format mm/dd/yyyy".

I've placed the following code in both the On Enter and On Exit but it doesn't work.
