Field stays required after entered and form has to be closed

I have a field that becomes required on Customer Orders if a box is checked. My users are having issues, though, because if they enter another order - without closing the Customer Orders form - it will tell them the field is required on the new order even though the box is not checked. Anyone know the best way to resolve this?

Psuedo code:

Public Sub StdObjectSelectCurrentCompleted()
MyLogic()
End Sub

Public Sub YourCheckboxChanged()
MyLogic()
End Sub

Private Sub MyLogic()
If (ThisForm.PrimaryIDOCollection.GetCurrentObjectProperty("YOURCheckbox")= "1") Then
ThisForm.Components("YOURFIELDEdit").Required = False
ThisForm.Components("YOURFIELDGridCol").Required = False
Else
ThisForm.Components("YOURFIELDEdit").Required = True
ThisForm.Components("YOURFIELDGridCol").Required = True
End If
End Sub

So if I understand:

They open "Customer Orders", and if a check box on the form is checked YOURFIELD becomes required. If the user then clicks "New" and tries to enter a Customer Order the field is still required.

Is that what you're experiencing?

What is the checkbox bound to? Did you make any changes to the 'on new' behavior?

Also, how are you indicating the field is required/not required? Code or the "Required When"?

This Worked. Thank you!
