Validation Formulas in Custom Outlook Form

[ITFreak]

I am trying to create a Validation Formula in a Custom Outlook 2000 form I
have created. All I want to do is to enable a custom message to display if
the field is not filled in. The data entered into this field is text and
numbers. I have tried the formula [fieldname] <> " " and it doesn't work it
just keeps displaying the a field on this form requires a value box and does
not display my custom message. Any ideas how I can resolve this, any help
would be greatly appreciated as I have now been at this for about 3 hours.!!

On the Validation tab for the control, clear the "A value is required for this field" box. You should not use it in addition to a validation formula.
