I work in a call center and we have a form that is taken over the phone and requires the input of certain dates to be able to make proper decisions on cases we deal with. Many of our representatives fail to fill out these dates and it creates more work. I am trying to find a way to make it that the form cannot be saved or printed without these fields being entered. I have tried numerous code that I have found online, but I keep coming up with errors that I don't know enough about code to understand what the errors mean. Can anyone provide me the code to do this? The form is a locked form, but is not password protected. Thanks!
