Validation Formulas in Custom Outlook Form
I am trying to create a Validation Formula in a Custom Outlook 2000 form I
have created. All I want to do is to enable a custom message to display if the field is not filled in. The data entered into this field is text and numbers. I have tried the formula [fieldname] " " and it doesn't work it just keeps displaying the a field on this form requires a value box and does not display my custom message. Any ideas how I can resolve this, any help would be greatly appreciated as I have now been at this for about 3 hours.!!

Validation Formulas in Custom Outlook Form
On the Validation tab for the control, clear the "A value is required for this field" box. You should not use it in addition to a validation formula.
