need a sniplet of vb code please!

[keith]

I need some code to check that a field is filled out before allowing the user to submit on a custom userform. Basically I have a date field in the custom form and I need to make SURE the user fills in that field but proceeding. So I need code to check the date field for a valid value when they click "ok". If there is not a value I need it to pop up the user an error saying something like "Date Field must be completed" Please Help, Thanks...

Keith,

This code assumes that your textbox is called txtDate and your OK button is called cmdOK. Hope it helps,

Private Sub cmdOK_Click()
If Not IsDate(txtDate.Text) Then
    MsgBox "Date field is not a valid date.", vbExclamation, "Error"
    Me.txtDate.Text = ""
    Me.txtDate.SetFocus
    Exit Sub
ElseIf txtDate.Text = "" Then
    MsgBox "Date field must be completed.", vbExclamation, "Error"
    Me.txtDate.Text = ""
    Me.txtDate.SetFocus
    Exit Sub
End If

'Rest of your code
MsgBox "Congratulations!  You entered a valid date"

End Sub
