Blank textbox shows message

[lucky12341]

I am working on a school project and am new to the computer sciences field and VB.Net. I almost have completed this assignment but I cannot seem to figure something out after doing alot of research and attempting the problem for awhile.

I need my userform to check to make sure the text box (nametxt) is not blank whenever a user does anything. If anyone needs example of my code let me know, I just cannot get a msgbox to show when the text box is blank.

Why not just test for it:

<font face=Tahoma><SPAN style="color:#00007F">Private</SPAN> <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Sub</SPAN> nametxt_Exit(<SPAN style="color:#00007F">ByVal</SPAN> Cancel <SPAN style="color:#00007F">As</SPAN> MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
    <SPAN style="color:#00007F">If</SPAN> nametxt.Text = "" <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Then</SPAN>
        MsgBox "Name must be filled in"
        nametxt.SetFocus
    <SPAN style="color:#00007F">End</SPAN> <SPAN style="color:#00007F">If</SPAN>
<SPAN style="color:#00007F">End</SPAN> <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Sub</SPAN></FONT>

I used the Exit event in case someone tries to tab through it, but that may not be the trigger you want.

HTH,

Well I need the user to be able to fiddle with anything on the userform. Specifically though when they click on one of the radiobuttons that is supposed to display something, I want it to make sure the nametxt textbox is not blank. I didnt know if there was a general way I can do this or if I have to link it to each of the 4 radio buttons etc.

I apologize I know its a retarded and sinple school project but I love programming and I get frustrated becuase I haven't found a way to mutate the code yet.

UPDATE- I got it working, thank you very much for the help.

You need to figure out what trigger you want to test for an entry in the TB.
