Step back for a sec, you should probably do this check at the database level (assuming the fields are in a dbc table). Use the FieldValidation Rule to make sure they are not empty, or define use the FieldValidation DefaultValue to make sure something is put in the field. This way, you can have 40 forms with the same field and you won't need to cut and paste (or class) the valid method.
