When your entering information if you don't input something that is required you keep getting error messages. It won't allow you input the information it's asking for!!!!! We end up having to go to task manager to shut the program down because the errors won't stop!!!!

I think this particular issue (inability to go back to the field that is causing the error) has to do with dropdowns being validated.
What is annoying is actually the focus shift required for mouse <-> keyboard to tap the OK button on the error message. (or tap ENTER or ESC?)
I suggest VP should follow best UX practices for form field validation, as seen on the Mobile, Web, and OS land for many years. Things to keep in mind: https://medium.com/@andrew.burton/form-validation-best-practices-8e3bec7d0549
The Dialog box is NOT the proper way. I'd suggest a mouse tip (but anchored to the top right of the field) with appropriate coloring. I'm sure they are dealing with this in a much better way on their TEAM product (web solution), but it would be nice to see some love given to the desktop as well.
It would seem like an error upon saving the record would be sufficient. We should be able to navigate through the record without getting an error on each field that is wrong.
