command button validation

[alex]

I have the following code in an Access Form:
It works well; however, if a user enters the form and hits the command
button below (54) (without entering any info) the command triggers the
Msgbox event, without checking form/table validation.

Conversely, if a user enters the form and types even a keystroke, then
hits the command button, Access knows to kick in the validation that
I've set up and instructs the user to populate required fields.

Question: how to make the code below check for form/table validation
even if the user types nothing into the form?

Thanks for your help ~ alex
