I'm trying to create a db in office '07 for man hour accounting. Upon closing a job order I want to make sure that the Date Completed and Hours fields are filled in.

So when somebody sets a combo box labeled "Status" to "Completed" I want to make the "Date_Completed" and "Man_Hours" fields required.

Is there an expression I can set in the validation rules for the Date and Hours to say they are required if Status is completed. I tired and if statement but was unsuccessful at figuring out how to set the field as "required"
i.e. if [status]="Completed",[Man_hours]=Required?
