You can also try to insert Bob's code into forms QueryClose event sub, for
example like this:

------
Private Sub UserForm_QueryClose(Cancel As Integer, CloseMode As Integer)

If Len(TextBox1) = 0 Then
MsgBox "You have to insert value in TextBox1"
Cancel = True
End If

End Sub
------

This time user is not able to close form before filling Textbox1.

Good luck

Thanks Bob

Does the trick, why is it always the most simple of things that cause the
most grief!

Thanks again!

Just add a close button to the userform and test in ther. Something like

Private Sub cmdClose_Click()
With TextBox1
If .Text = "" Then
MsgBox "Invalid data"
.SetFocus
Else
Me.Hide
End If
End With
End Sub

I am doing a project which involves collecting H&S data, via a series
of
UserForms, and dumping all the information into a worksheet for
further
reporting etc.

My current stumbling block is how to make certain fields on the
UserForm
mandatory, so that they have to be filled in by the user before they
can
close down the form?

Any ideas will be hugely appreciated - it's getting late and I can't
sleep
not knowing this!!!
