One way, would be to add textbox1_required hidden form element for the matching element named textbox1 in your form.
This way, CF automatically displays a page saying textbox1 is required and user can use back button to enter information for that field. Other way, would be on form processing page, you could have a validation routine, which shows which fields were not entered by user. Algorithm would be : <cfif not len(textbox1)> <cfset errorMsg = "textbox1 is required"> </cfif> You can go on appending other element names to this string and display later.

You can't improve what you don't measure. Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.
