The following script verifies that all records have client numbers entered, audibly notifies
the user when it finds a missing number, and waits so the user can enter the number. This
script runs when the database closes and can't be cancelled by the user.

Go to Record/Request/Page[First]
Loop
If[IsEmpty(Table1::clientNumberField)]

End If
Go to Record/Request/Page [Exit after last; Next]
End Loop
