I have assumed that my text and text box need to be called "File As" (Which
I thought would save my contact that I create.

What text and what text box are you referring to?
-- I am refering to the one I have named "CONTACT" and its text box next
to it...

What do you mean by "the one"? A control? A property? Please remember that we can't look over your shoulder and must rely on you to provide clear and precise details. Nothing about your description so far suggests that this has anything to do with the warning message. Removing the controls as a test would clinch that.

I have checked all the fields and none have "required" checked off...

Did you remove any fields? If so, add them back and check their validation setting, too.

The warning message indicates just what it says: that one or more fields have been set to require a value. This was probably done on the Validation tab of the Properties dialog for the control that displays the field. You'll need to look at each one to discover which has this problem.

how do I save contacts with a custom form?

Launch a new instance of the form (details depend on where you published it), fill in the data, then click Save or Save and Close.

I developed a custom form, now I am trying to use it by creating clients
with it. When I fill out my for and try to save it I recieve the message: "A
field on this form requires a value."

I have assumed that my text and text box need to be called "File As" (Which

Basically, my question is: how do I save contacts with a custom form?
