Hi Vince,
Open your form in design view and double-click on your first required field. This will bring up that fields properties dialog. Select the data tab and look for "Validation Rule". in this line you might type something like: <Date() meaning the value entered must be less than today. Just below is a line called "Validation Text". In here you type what you'd like to say when the above "hits". Something like: The date you enter must be less than today!
You must repeat these steps for each field you deem important enough to restrict the user from proceeding.
F1 to bring up Access help and do a search for Validation Rule and Validation Text. That should do it! Gord
