Force Input Question

I have a form to add new employees to tblEmployee with the following
fields:

Department (text - linked to tblDept - 3 values in a single field)
Shift (numeric - linked to tblShift - 3 values in a single field)
First Name (tblEmployee.FirstName)
LastName (tblEmployee.LastName)
Hiring Status (linked to tblHireStatus - 3 values in a single field)
Hire Date (Date/Time)

I cannot seem to figure out how to force these inputs to be made.

Currently, for some reason unknown to me, the only field that forces
data input is the Hire Status field.

I have looked through the properties for each field but can't seem to
figure out where I am going wrong.

Like I said, I need the user to input for all fields before moving to
a new record.

Thanks in advance,

Tim

Set the controls' Required properties to True.
