Required fields should be indicated with either a symbol or text, not just color. When providing an indicator for a required field, it should be placed right before the form field. This allows a screen reader to read the indicator to a screen reader user right before the user activates the field.

By selecting this check box, you make the field for the control a required field. Note: If you are unable to select the Cannot be blank check box, or if the check box does not appear, you must create a custom error message. Click the control that you want to make required. On the Format menu, click Control Properties.

In the Object Explorer option, right-click the column you want to change and click on Design. You need to select the column whose data type you want to modify. In the Column Properties, you need to click the grid cell to change the Data Type property and then choose the data type from the appeared drop-down list.

If all the fields are required, then it is a good idea to mark them as such. This will help to prevent users from forgetting to fill out a required field, which can result in an error. You can use either asterisks or visual indicators to mark the required fields.
