Force Entry Into Empty Field

Hi,

Dumb question for ya smart guys----

I want to define new text field(s) into an already made lots of records database and then "force" text entry into those fields----

I have successfully "forced" text entry into fields using the old IF/Then and Case deal----where I go and look for certain info in another field and then based on that info force "new" stuff into the "new" text fields---

This all seems really cumbersome ...and I KNOW there is a very easy way to do this---but it is baffling me ----- like just say put this text into all of these blank fields in all of the following records ---hmmmm

I think you first confusion is "." "," and "---". wink.gif" border="0 (couldn't resist)

In the define fields dialogs you can set field validation (under options) to "not empty" as either a strict validation or with user override.
