Data Entry Validation Rule In Form

Dec 7, 2012

What I have:
Table named: clients table
Form named: clients data form

The form has the client information. The client sends me a document. I review the document. If the document has the correct info needed, then I have a field named "Incomplete" that is a Yes/No field in the clients table.If the field is clicked, then I want the next date field to appear and then I can fill in the date that it was sent back to them.If the field "incomplete" field is not checked, then I don't want that date field to appear nor do I want to fill it out.

Using Table Data Query For Entry Validation Rule

Aug 15, 2007

I'm new to access so I thought this would be easier than it is. I have a list of cities in a simple table . I want use this list (or a query of it) to create a validation rule for a field in a second table "City". How, either with VBA or some other method do I use the Cities database to validate entry. These tables are both in the same project.

Any help is appreciated.

Data Validation Rule Help

Feb 15, 2008

I am an absolute beginner and urgently need help with a validation rule. I need to know how to set a rule to set a minimum and maximum length for a text field record. I want minimum to be 4 and maximum to be 15 (I know I can set a max field size and set to not null but not sure how to make a minimum validation rule.
I am a teacher (not ICT!) having to cover for a sick colleague and students have asked me how to do this and although I am working my way through many of the great learning resources you link to here I have not yet worked out how to do this.
Would really appreciate any help you can give me so I can do my best by the kids.

Validation Rule Based On Data In Table

Mar 8, 2005

Hi,

Does anyone know if its possible to base a validation rule on the data that is already in the field in a table?

e.g. there are 10 records in a table each with an ID number starting at 1 and going up to 10. When new record added i need a validation rule that will prompt the user to enter a number greater than the previous number entered for the ID.

so they will not be able to enter 1 - 10.

hope thats clear

cheers.

Validation Rule By Relating Data With Table

Dec 18, 2013

I have tried several ways to validate my data with existing table I've developed.

Actually, I want the access to validate the data (Cellphone number) I've entered in the textbox by looking it in the existing table. So, if the data is there in the table, the message will pop up such as.. "Please continue". But if not, the message should be "this number was not registered yet.." and the textbox will be empty and ready for the new number...

Problem With Validation Rule On Form

Oct 22, 2005

Hello, I'm having difficulty with a validation rule in a form. I have a numeric field I want to limit users to entering a number between 1 and a variable second number. The second number is the number of records in the table. So if the table has 5 record, the user can enter a number between 1 and 5. When the number of records increases to say 15, then the user should be able to enter a number between 1 and 15.

What I have done so far is as follows:


Function MyValRul()
MyValRul = "Between 1 And " & DCount("*", "tblRegion1")
End Function

and in the validation rule option for the field on the form I enter
=MyValRul()

This should returns a value like
Between 1 and 15

But it does not work. I do not get any programming errors but when I attempt to enter a number in the field I get the validation error message even if I enter a number that IS valid.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. And please be gentle (i.e. keep it simple and include detailed step by step instructions) I am new to Access and vba.

Input Mask, Validation Rule, Search Form

Dec 1, 2005

I have a form that acts as a filter/search engine -- it inputs criteria into a query, then opens a report based on the criteria/query. One of the criteria options is "Supplier Number", which is to be entered into an unbound text box.

All of our suppliers have 10 digits, usually in this format: A123400000 (i.e. First character is either a Letter or digit, followed by four or five digits, then followed by four or five zeros)

Our system works with ten digit numbers, while the people in the dept are used to just typing in "A1234" assuming the zeros are irrelevant.

How do I create a validation rule or input mask where a user can simply type "A1234", then it will return zeros for the remaining of the ten required characters?

I realize the usual response to these type of simple question is "Search the Threads", but I have done so already and still don't have an answer!

Help Needed With Database Problems; Validation Rule And Image In Form

Apr 17, 2007

Hello Everyone,
I am in the final stages of creating a database for school coursework however I am having a few problems with a few features; any help would be much appreciated.
The database itself is meant to manage / keep are record of utility bills, it consists of two tables: Invoice and Company.

Problem 1.
In the Invoice table there are two fields called Date Due and Date Received the data type is Date/Time, how do I create a validation rule so that Date Due must be after 'Date Received' and vies versa?

Problem 2
I want each record in the database to store an image of a scanned invoice, and the main form called Transaction to show a preview image of the invoice. Much of the code I used is borrowed from the Access Northwind sample database, after some initial success I had to redesign the 'Transaction' form where the picture was shown and now I get the error message:
‘Run-time error 2135, this property is read-only and cannot be set’
I think I know what is causing the error but I have had no luck fixing it, if someone could help me that would be excellent.

Problem 3
Once I get the Transaction form to properly store and display a preview image of an invoice, I want to add a button that opens the image in an external window(ie MSPaint).
Currently my only success has been to add a button on the form that launches MSPaint (you have to manually open the image in MSPaint.)
Again, if someone could help me sort this out it would be excellent.

Sorry if my problems aren’t clear or well explained.

I have spent many hours looking for answers to my problems in forums, Access help files etc…
My computing tutor has little (no) experience with Access so he has been unable to help, hopefully the people on this forum have the expertise.

I am happy to email you my database if you need it to help me with problems 2&3.

Thanks in ALOT advance :)

Cancel Validation Rule Message Boxes On Closing Form

Oct 26, 2006

I want to close a form and I am using

Private Sub Form_Close()
Application.Quit
End Sub

as the form opens with the access application window hidden, and I found that the .ldb file didn't close if I simply used the X.

I have a series of fields with validation rules which activate on exit. One of these validation rules is in the box which gets focus when the form opens. This means that I get the validation text error message boxes when I close the form with the X.

If I have started to complete the form, I get a whole host of error messages and validation messages when I try to shut it with the X.

Is there a way of closing the form and cancelling or ignoring all error message boxes. I want the user to be able to close the form if they have decided not to fill it in after all, or have got part way through and want to cancel.

I would really appreciate any help, I am sure this is a very basic question and I should probably be able to find the answer, but I can't and I am very fed up!

Forms :: Validation Rule In Access Form On Unbound Text

Jan 8, 2015

Is there a way to add a validation rule in an access form on an unbound text box. This box is currently doing a calculation of others. If the figure is not between 0 And 0.3125 then I do not want the user to be able to move on. For some reason if I enter "Between 0 And 0.3125" in the validation rule it doesn't seem to do anything. I can only assume its because its an unbound text box. Data attached please see Frm_Input and text box total standard hours.

Validation Rule

Nov 27, 2005

Relatively new to access, just trying to create a range in a validation rule. What I have are 2 cells, Date_Taken and Date_Returned. I want Date_Returned to only accept values between: Date_Taken and equal to or less than the current date.

Between "Date_Taken" And <=Now()

is what I've got at the mo', yet it's not working. I'm gathering that I'm referring to the Date_Taken cell incorrectly. Any help? I don't see any tools to fix such a thing.

Validation Rule Help

Apr 2, 2008

Hi,I'm really struggling to try and find a solution to a problem.I need to find a validation rule that only accepts:letters, spaces and hyphens (-) in the field.I have tried for at least 14 hours today and most of yesterday afternoon, but I just can't get it.The furthest I've got is rejecting everything except from letters and spaces, with each these codes individually:(I've only listed a few so you could see just a fraction of what I'd already tried)Is Null Or Not Like "*[!((a-z) or (Chr(32),Chr(45)))]*"Is Null Or Not Like "*[!((a-z) or (Chr(32)) or (Chr(45)))]*"Is Null Or Not Like "*[!((a-z) and (Chr(32)) and (Chr(45)))]*"Is Null OR Not Like "*[!((a-z) or (( ),(-)))]*"Is Null OR Not Like "*[!((a-z) or ( ) or (-)))]*"Is Null OR Not Like "*[!((a-z) and ( ) and (-)))]*"Is Null Or Not Like "*[!((a-z), ,-)]*"However, it is also rejecting hyphens, which I need it to accept.Also, unfortunately it is accepting bracketsHopefully someone here will have a solution, because I'm stumped, :confused:James

Question about validation rules. I have a user who has set up a validation rule to allow certain values to be entered.

Something like if the value equals 4 or equals 5 then it would accept it. Now she would like the validation be set so they can put both 4 and 5 in together. How can this be done?

Help With Validation Rule

May 7, 2005

Here's my problem:

Table: PARAMETERS
Field: PARM1
Field: SYMBOL

Table: TRANSACTIONS
Field: DATE
Field: AMOUNT
Field: loads more...

What I want is a validation rule on the AMOUNT field, which says that the data entered cannot be greater than the number in the PARM1 field.
I can't get this to work, and I reckon it's becuase there's one record in the PARAMETERS table, but lots in TRANSACTIONS.
In solving this problem I do not want to add any more records to PARAMETERS. The idea of that table is that it is an easy way to customise the database, not a way of storing data.
I've putting this in the validation rule box (but it didn't work):
=<Tables![PARAMETERS]![PARM1]

Please help!
Thanks
