error handling for form 1

[newbieone]

I need to make sure that a name is selected from a list before a form will open. The enduser will pick from a list on the Main form then click on another button to enter the rest of the data in a different form. how do I make sure the user selects from the list?

Check that there's something selected in the listbox in the code opening the next form.

Use this on every button:

If Nz(cboComboBox, "") = "" Then
    MsgBox "Please select a name to work with first.", vbOKOnly, "Select Person's Name"
    Exit Sub
End If

...rest of code here will run as long as above is not true...
