The required fields could have a different color border.

"Visually" how? I'd love ideas on this, as showing which fields in a
form are required and which are optional is a general problem,
especially in database-y applications (I encountered it in a
Point-of-Sale app last week). Web applications usually put a star next
to the label of compulsory fields, but that doesn't meet the standards
of elegance expected from locally-installed software ("Subject:*" would
look silly), and it doesn't work for fields that don't have labels to
themselves (such as the port number for a single-protocol proxy
server).
