I'm using Access 2000. I have a form with textboxes, combo boxes..etc. The user will populate the form using an Access Interface and I have a "OK" button which I would like to be the final verification. If I just set the control source property to a certain field, it populates the table as soon as it loses focus. I would like to populate my fields using the click event of the button..ex. something like Field = cboTest.Value etc...
 
Use the BeforeUpdate event of the form to validate the record before it gets
written to the table.

Example:

Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If IsNull(Me.Surname) Then
If MsgBox("Save with no surname?", vbYesNo+vbDefaultButton2) <>
vbYes Then
Cancel = True
End If
End If
End Sub

Setting Cancel to True prevents the save.
To destroy the entry, use:
Me.Undo

There are so many ways a record can be saved, that Form_BeforeUpdate is your
only safe event.
