Combo Box Validation
Jun 13, 2005
Hi
I've been looking on the forum to try and find my answer but am struggling to find anything!
I have a combo box which I am validating by using IsNull. This works fine untill someone fills the combo box and then decides to delete it leaving the combo box empty again. My IsNull then does not work. Have tried putting in "" too but this does not seem to work either
Below is my example
If IsNull(Me.cboInt) Or [cboInt] = "" Then
MsgBox "You need to choose an interviewer first!", vbCritical
Me.cboInt.SetFocus
End If
I know this must be simple! Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Hello there,
This is probably an easy question for most of you out there, but it has me stumped as a novice in this field.
I have a combo box on a form that has a row source defined to come from a query. I have the "limit to list" option set to "YES" in the properties of the combo box.
My issue is this, when a end user enters a value into the combo box manually, instead of using the drop down data, and that value is not in the related query, can I define what is said in the text box that appears, in place of the access default error message?
Second question is related to that, the system will not let me continue until I enter a value in the combo box that is on my query. Can I, from the text box that I have come up, jump to another form where I can update the records that the query is pulled from?
Here are the specifics for my database.
Combo box is on a form dealing with my "tote tracking" table. The box specificlly deals with the "serial #" field on that table.
I do not want the to be able to 'move' a tote unless that tote serial number has been enterd on the "tote setup" table, which the combo box is limited to search from.
If you try to enter a tote number that has not been setup, the "limit to list" feature will not let it happen. I would like my own error message to come up, and woud like to hit a control on that message to go to a form that enters records in the "tote setup" table. Then you will have the chance to 'set up a new tote' and create a record on that table from which the origional form would be able to pull.
Any help you could lend on this would be appreciated, I am new to access and trying to learn on my own...
Thanks

How would i go about setting the validation - if Damage To Property is data type "No", disable the "Damage Comments" field. (ie grey it out).
any help would be greatly appreciated..

Hey peeps,
I have a problem. I want my field to become "[field], An " etc. when I type "An [field]" For example, if I type "The Hundred Years War" for the field, it automatically updates to "Hundred Years War, The". I would be happy with a simple validation rule that prohibits the use of "The, A or An" in the beginning of the field but i don't think that is posibble. If this requires VB, I don't know how to use the language and never worked with it. I am completely a novice in VB, but would still love to learn how to make it. :) If you could start me out then, I would appreciate it greatly. :D

Hi im new round here but am working on a database and sum of the validation rules are confusing me now.
Ok i got a couple of things to ask:
1) What rule do i use to make sure only text is entered into the field, i cant use input masks as the size of the text put into the field will vary, as its names of people.
2) Is there a way to check that all the fields on a form have been entered? So if there not all entered an error appears?
3) Finally, is there a way to reset Autonumbers? or do i have to delete all the records and start frm scratch as my autonumbers have gone abiit crazy as sum records have been deleted so my table looks rather strange.
Thank you, help greatly appreciated :)

Hello,
For my Year 12 Computing course, I need to develop a database which will take bookings for a village hall. The database consists of a Bookings Table, a Customer Data Table and a Hiring Cost Table. It is in the Bookings Table that I am having the most trouble.
I believe I have already solved my double booking dilemma by making the Date of Event and Type of Event fields in the Bookings Table into a composite key, thereby prohibiting the entering of data where Date of Event and Type of Event are the same, making them unique.
Here is my main problem at the moment, I need a validation rule on the Date of Event or perhaps the Date of Booking field which means a booking must be made at least a week, and no more than two months in advance of the date of event. The thing is this validation rule is only needed for occasional bookings. Present, again on the bookings table is a Booking Type field which has a lookup consisting of the following “Regular” and “Occasional”, regular meaning bookings that are made at the start of the year, for the whole year.
Ideally, I would like to have it so that when the booking type field is set to regular, the validation rule for the date isn’t needed, and when the booking type field is set to occasional, the validation rule for the date is needed/present.
Could anyone help me with this? As any help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
Daniel
If anyone would like any screenshots of the Bookings Table, email me at daniel_goodman@hotmail.com

How can I set validation for a text field where I restrict the number of characters? For example, if I only want the user to be able to input 12 characters or less, and more than one. >=1 And <=12 would that be correct?

Hi all, Very new to using ACCESS. I am trying to set a validation criteria to ensure that a postcode is imported correctly. An example of a UK post code is SP10 3PB - it may be entered as SP103PB. I need to set a validation criteria to allow either two. What is the format of the criteria to achieve this? Any clues please. Thanks Mike
Are there any useful sites that set out examples of validation criteria?

Any help on this would be great,

Hi Guys,
I need to set validation rule on a field. I have done the the below:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If IsNull(Me.SlideType) Then
MsgBox "You have not entered SlideType!", vbExclamation + vbRetryCancel, "Incomplete Form!"
Cancel = True
Me.SlideType.SetFocus
End If
It works fine, but I cant get it ignore it if I press cancel. Sometimes this data is not available so it has to stay empty. When I press retry it should take me to that field to make changes and with the cancel click it should allow me continue with the last command/action before the msgbox was brought up. Can anyone please help, thanks.

Hi,
i have a form that requires validation. i am using the following code:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If IsNull(Me.number) Then
MsgBox "number is required", vbOKOnly
Cancel = True
Me.number.SetFocus
End If
i have repeated the above code for other fields.........
The problem i have is, if i click 'x' and before it allows me to exit, it brings up the validations, one by one (so annoying).
Is there any way THAT it can show all the validations at once??? in one message????
THANKS

hi all
The following code isn't working
If Me.txtScore > Me.txtMaxScore Then
MsgBox "Outside score range"
DoCmd.CancelEvent
I'm using an ADO unbound form to add records.
the txtMaxScores comes from a data table with its properties set as text. (I've tried using number but I can't get that working either)
The txtScore is an unbound text field. the user eneters a score and I'd like the above validation to trap incorrect scores. But there's something I'm missing. I've tried setting the txtScore properties to general number... no luck there either.
Any ideas are appreciated.
