Hello,

I am working on a website using ASP and MS Access. I need to make some fields mandatory in form, but not in the database. How can I do this?

Thanks in advance!

You could either use JavaScript which onsubmit checks that the required fields are filled in, however if someone turns off JavaScript then the code to check will not run.

The other way is to check server side when the form is submitted that the form field contains data:-

If Request.Form("formFieldName") = "" Then 
	Response.Write("Please fill in all required fields")
	Response.End
End If
