Do the reverse of what you are doing...

Private Sub cmdsave_Click()
Dim street As String
street = txtstreet.Text

If (txtlname.Text = "") Then
  MsgBox "Last Name is compulsory", vbExclamation + vbOKOnly, "Atmoic Inc"
  txtlname.SetFocus
  [b]Exit Sub[/B]
ElseIf (txtfname.Text = "") Then
  MsgBox "First Name is compulsory", vbExclamation + vbOKOnly, "Atmoic Inc"
  txtfname.SetFocus
  [b]Exit Sub[/B]
...

If any condition fails you need to exit the sub to allow the user to enter the information.

I also do not see a

Adoaddlec.Edit

anywhere

I would think that you would want to evaluate your controls PRIOR to updating/appending records to your database. Meaning, evaluate your controls first, then when you know that they all contain valid values do your .Edit, .Field = value, .Update.

Good Luck

88omar, have you ever heard of arrays?

I'm looking briefly at what your doing and the code looks extremely long and unneccesary. Why not create an array of the name 'Parish' for example then store all your values into that, and have things reference it.

88omar 0 Light Poster · Answer 8 · 2009-03-21T10:36:26+00:00

yes i've hear of it but i don't know how to do it in vb
