Entering data

[Douglas]

I want to be able to tell folks what kind of data to enter into a
form....something like using the validation text in a table. Does the form
have such a function?

you can use a number of strategies to help users enter the correct data.
among the easiest to use are 1) Status Bar Text property, found in the
control's Properties box, Other tab, 2) Control Tip Text property, same
place as #1, and 3) Input Mask property, see Properties box, Data tab.
listboxes and combo boxes are also useful in restricting data entry to
pre-defined values.
