Hi Ashley,
You can't. Set the Required Propert to No and use the Validation Rule.
Example:
Validation Rule: Is Not Null
Validation Text: "Hey this is Null"
I hope this helps! If you have additional questions on this topic, please
respond back to this posting.

| In the table, I set the field required to "Yes". If it
| leaves blank, the standard system error message popup. How
| could I replace the system error message with my error
| message? I tried to put it in the validation text, but it
| didn't replaced the system error message.

| Thanks
