Create a message to display for field input that is not valid

Microsoft Access

  1. Select the field that needs a message for input that is not valid. The field should already have a validation rule.

  2. On the Fields tab, in the Field Validation group, click Validation, and then click Field Validation Message.

  3. Enter an appropriate message. For example, if the validation rule is >10, themessage might be “Enter a value that is less than 10.”
