Form Field Validation

How do I validate all controls for null values in one statement?
Posted: 10 Jul 01

I have found this procedure to be very helpful for form validation.  It loops through the controls on the form to find out if any fields were left blank.  For each field that is null, a message is displayed to the user and then focus is returned to that field in order for the user to know exactly which field to enter data on.  Performing form validation within the database table will let you know of which field is null but won't set the focus to the field in which the null value exists.

Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
  Dim i As Integer
  For i = 0 To Controls.Count - 1
     If TypeOf Controls(i) Is TextBox Or _
       TypeOf Controls(i) Is ComboBox Then
          If IsNull(Controls(i)) Then
          MsgBox "No null values allowed"
          Controls(i).SetFocus
          End
          End If
     End If
  Next i
End Sub
