    Automatic Highlight required fields when submitting a form

    Hello,

    Does anyone know how to automatically highlight a fieldname in another color if the field is a (required field *) and upon saving the form, it is blank. I know there is a red asterisk that shows required fields initally, but For eg.  I have a form whereby there are several fields, and the user has to scroll to fill out fields further down the form.  Now when the user clicks save on my form, if a required field is not populated Infopath just says "Some rules were not applied" ... but it does not highlight the field/s so the user will know where they have to make the changes.   I find this tedious for a user to go through a form trying to find which field was not initially filled out as opposed to upon trying to save/submit automatically highlighting such fields.. Can this be done?  Thanks in advance.

    You could use conditional formatting ont he fields to highlight them when they were blank.

    I believe with code you can improve the error handling to list the fields, you would have to check for some other posts on this.
