how to convert to input mask ?
Ok I have an excel spreadsheet with over 6000 phone numbers that I need to import into a table. I have set up my field with an input mask to display a phone number as (xxx) xxx-xxxx. I have also set up my excel spreadsheet to have the numbers set up like 1234567890 to make it easy to throw in and let the input mask take over. My question is: I have some numbers that have an extension and are set up as 1234567890 x 102. I can take out the "x" and have all of the numbers run together, but what is the input mask syntax to have it display as say "(xxx) xxx-xxxx ext.xxx"?
Thanks:o
I have a control called GoToId which afterupdate moves the user to a specified record where ID=GotoID. I want the control to only take numbers as input. I used input mask: 999999;;" " but with it the user can still press a letter on a keyboard and even though the letter doesn't get typed in, I think an empty string gets passed as value.
If I can't do it with masks, what's the simplest if statement in vba that will check if the value is a number and positive? (IF the value is Null, "", or anything else I want the if expression to be false)
I know how to do it with several if statements checking if is null, or if "", but there must be a clean way of asking it in a single expression.
I have a date field on my form and used
Input Mask L<LL-0000;;* and
validation rule <=Date$()
I want the user input to look like 'Aug-2010' for example.but I get error: The value you entered isn't valid for this field
I'm trying to apply a custom input mask to a text box control. The text box must contain a 43 character string, broken into sections as follows :
AAAA-AAAAA-AAAAA-AAAAAA-AAAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAA-AAA
(The format is quite strict and always comprises alphanumeric characters , hence I figured an input mask would, if nothing else, support the user to key the string accurately from its constituent parts...)
However, when I try to apply the input mask to the text box, I seem to run out of characters - I get as far as the below but the input mask wizard won't let me extend the mask to the final 8 characters
AAAA-AAAAA-AAAAA-AAAAAA-AAAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAA-AAA
Are input masks restricted to 35 characters in length? And if so, how else could I make this, admittedly complex, text input more manageable for end users?
I have a form (Access 2007) that requires user to enter a date.
Using the standard date field (short date format) with the date picker works fine however some users prefer to enter the date via the keyboard (some prefer the date picker).
If I set an input mask (to facilitate keyboard entry) for the text box then the date picker disappears.
Is there any way to apply the date picker and the input mask to the control to accommodate all users?
I have to add an Input Mask or force the user to enter in a specified format in a text field. The condition is, text should start with "A" or "T". The complete format is A-12345-67890 or T-12345-67890.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to change the standard input mask violation error message to a personalised one. I have found this code:
Private Sub Form_Error(DataErr As Integer, Response As Integer)
Const INPUTMASK_VIOLATION = 2279
If DataErr = INPUTMASK_VIOLATION Then
MsgBox "There was an input mask violation in the field no!!"
Response = acDataErrContinue
End If
End Sub
However, i would like to change the message for a number of different text boxes. and i don't know how to isolate each one, and give each one a different message?
I just need a quick, simple expression that I can copy and paste into the input mask for a control that I have on a couple of forms that prevents someone (me) to continue tabbing to the next control if the value entered is a duplicate.

I've downloaded SearchDB.zip uploaded by agehoops. Its works exactly like its supposed to but I need to update it a bit.
Im making a MovieDatabase and have a table with Orginaltitle, SwedishTitle, Director, Actors and so on. When I search in "Director" for "Francis Ford Coppola" or just "Francis" the movies which is related to him comes up. But when I search for "Ford Coppola" or only "Coppola" nothing comes up. I want the user to have that possibilty to search using the last part of the name too. Is that possible?
When searching with the binocolor icon it works fine when chosing "part of record", i think thats the english translation for "Del av fält". I have a swedish acces version so im not so sure but anyhow I think you understand what I mean.
To sum it up I want the ability to search writing only a part of what the record contain including the last part and not only the first part like it is right now.
Appreciate any help!

Dear All,
Is there any way that I can use an input mask to enter serial numbers of softwares.....

ABC8F-CHJ68-FH76F-GHF87-67JH5
Thanks in advance
Thanks
What I have is field called contract number, and its entered as 09-0011, which is ok.
Now I like it to show up in a different field as 090011. I guess my first question can this be done. Or even better how would I do it?
Now your question is. Why don't you put it in correctly the first time, and the answer is we want the number to have a dash.
Any suggestions
Never can be easy for me.
let's say i have a field, in which i store and identity card number. This number may consist up to 7 digits (of which 3 are mandatory) plus 1 letter (mandatory) at the end. Thus a valid identity card number may be the following: 1234567M, 123M
Eventually, since the field must always contain a letter, i set the data type to Text with field size of 8 ... and i set the inout mask as follows:
9999000L (since the first 4 digits are mandatory). With this input mask, if i have an ID Number of 123M, i have to input it as 0000123M.
Although, I would like to have the leading zeros, is it possible that during data entry time, i would simply type 123M, and i will get the zeros automatically, after the field loses the focus, rather than having to type them myself ?
Thank You

I am trying to create an input mask for a name field. I have Spanish names with two last names separated by a hyphen, a comma after the two last names, a space, and then the First Name a space and the Middle Name. The First Last Name needs to be in all capitals like the example. Example: NARANJO-Ramirez, Jose Luis
Can someone please help me format this mask. One trick is that there aren't always middle names. Since all parts of the name are different lenghts for everybody, I need to have an optional number of characters for each of the four parts of the name.
Thanks for your help.
I have a text box on a form that holds a grid reference, (2 letters and 6 numbers). I have set the box up with an input mask, (>LL000000;0;_). Is there a way that when the user clicks in the box that the cursor will go to the start of the box. At present it goes wherever they click in the box. If they dont notice then the machine starts beeping at them, most annoying!
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have created an input mask but it depends what type of currency is..
If Me![Currency Counter] = "1" Then
Me![Serial No].InputMask = "LL00 000000"
Else
If Me![Currency Counter] = "2" Then
Me![Serial No].InputMask = "LL-00000000-L"
endif
endif
The problem is that if for example the currency counter = 2 the serial must be
AA-11111111-A but it is saving AA1111111A and i dont want it to save it like this.
Any help pls...
I have a text box that has an Input Mask setup. The box is format to be
##-### (00-000;0;). My problem is, when the user clicks in the box it does not start at the beginning, it starts where ever the user clicks inside the box. Is there way to for when you click inside the box it automatically starts at the beginning?

I have a table that I copy into daily from a shared Excel spreadsheet. I am trying to minimize the amount of touching up the data needs. What input mask should I use so that a field with four numbers...1234 (for example) will be converted to a nine-digit number with leading zeros (000001234) when the data is imported. I would like the nine-digit number to be saved.
Also, is there a way to have a date field import the date only & ignore any text?
Hiya everyone,
I'm try to do a database for items with part numbers.
& I want to be able to set the field to only accept data which has two letters at the begining, but any other characters after that (no fixed size).
ie.
part num1: pn047589sdf8m3
part num2: pn6583
part num3: pnfdgmj5973m
part num4: pn-fdgmj-5973m
Is this possible to do?
Cos all I can do at the moment, is to put a fixed number of characters.
ie. is the field size is 30characters
then I'd have to do this:
>LLCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
but this isn't good.
I just need something like:
>LL*
* mean any character for as many characters in length.

how can i only allow numbers to be entered when i make the input mask password
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a number field that has three groups of 3 numbers: 123 456 789 or 12 345 678 (8 numbers). When there are only 8 numbers I need to have the first group of number contain 2 numbers and the other two groups to have the other six numbers. If my input mask filled from the right it would solve my problem if the mask was 900 000 000 (filled from the right) but I can't seem to figure this out. Your help is greatly appreciated.
