I have a form that requires people to enter a number of values. The sum of these values cannot exceed 100. The values are stored in a table for later use. I also want to catch the error here with a message.
View RepliesI want to include a validation on a form. I have an auto number field called ID and a field called Nature Of Incident. I only want to have the auto number generated if the Nature of Incident is NotNull.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to validate data held in two controls on a form.
The first control records membership status and is a combobox with 5 values allowed.
1 is 'member'
2 is 'under consideration'
3 is 'left' etc.
The combobox displays the description, the underlying table the number 1-5.
The second control records 'reason for leaving' and again is a combobox with 7 entries just as above.
I need to ensure that if a value is entered into the second control the value of the first control is '1' or 'member'.
Whatever I do I cannot get any code to work.
So, what event should I link to the code attached to the second combobox? On lost focus, before update or what?
What value do I check for in the comboboxes, the text or the number?
How do I set focus back to the first combobox in the event of an error?
I'm a BA so i'm converting my excel issues list into a database with a front end where i can create new issue records this uses a form that sits on top of the issues_table.
Howver, i have created a table called Projects and a table called Test_Plans
Each issue is logged against a project and a test plan. Lets say ProjectA has TestPlan1 and ProjectB has Testplan2.
On my issues form, i can select ProjectA in the project field.
In the Testplan field i can select EITHER TestPlan1 or Testplan2
Testplan1 is the only valid entry.
How do i
a) Once I have selected ProjectA in the Project field only display Testplan1 in the Testplan field?
or
b) If the user tries to enter testplan2 for it to error?
I've tried creating a query and linking the controlsource field to it but it doesn't like that!
I have little bit problem in access here, if i want to create two textbox... first textbox for time and second textbox for unit. When I type (time) in first textbox, second textbox will appear automatically the unit number...
Example
1textbox-----------2textbox
1<time<=60 ------- 1 unit
60<time<=120 ------ 2 unit
120 < time <= 180 ------- 3 unit
I have a tabbed form built in Access 2007. It's a series of about 32 different questions, with some being fill-in, some drop down boxes to select from, some radio buttons to choose a rating from 1 to 5. The reason I used a tabbed form was just to keep things consolidated on one screen where no scrolling was involved. All of the entries on each of these tabs are deposited into the same single table. I have 7 tabs, and all of the fields on the 7 tabs compose a single record in the table.
I have the actual tabs hidden, and instead use a button to switch to the next tab (Continue button at the bottom) once all the fields on that tab have been completed. I have all of the necessary fields set to be required, but Access does not validate the entries until the very end of the survey when they click a 'submit' button that actually saves the responses and returns to the opening splash page to start the survey again.
What I want to happen is for the fields on the current tab to be validated before it lets the user move to the next tab with the continue button. If they click continue and have left any fields blank they should get a message that all required fields must be completed or something similar to that.
I have found a thread here entitled "Form Validation before Moving to another Tab" which sounds similar to what I'm doing, but using the button method to navigate to the next tab, there is no BeforeUpdated event to assign that code to.
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.

There's a field in QA, named InstrumentUsed. The criteria is that InstrmentUsed should only accept value when 'status' field in Instruments table shows 'working'. If status is 'faulty' or 'need repair', it should pop up the related error message and cursor stays on the same field.

I am doing an assignment and I am stuck at this validation rule. So in my database I 've got one table named horse and the rules I am supposed to set are these two：
1：A horse cannot be added that does not already have a Dam and Sire existing in the database unless either or both are not known.
2：A horse must not be deleted if it is the Sire or Dam of an existing horse.
I guess I am supposed to create a data entry form for table horse and apply these two rules in the form, but what should I do to achieve that? Seems a bit complicated cause the entering need to check some other fields (sire and dam) in the table..
My table looks like this
Horse_id Name Colour Sire Dam Born Died Gender
101 Flash white 201 301 2001 0 S
102 Star brown 201 302 2002 0 M
201 boxer grey 401 501 1991 0 S
301 Daisy white 401 502 1992 0 M
I know it might seem too simple to you but I am a full-time worker doing this online course. The consulting resouce for me and the time are both quite limited.
When I put some wrong value in the field the cursor not stay in the same filed its skip to next field. The code is as under:-
Private Sub RollNo_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If (RollNo.Value > 1) Or (RollNo.Value < 22) Then
MsgBox "Roll No is Wrong, Please Type correct Roll No"
Cancell = True
End If
End Sub
The RollNo is numeric field. How to stop the cursor in the box if I put wrong number.
I inquired on this original thread [URL] .... to hide/show fields based on two Yes/No dropdowns.
Summary:
1.
If "OtherUnivEmployeesInvolved" = "Yes":
The fields
"OtherUnivEmployeeFullName1"
"OtherUnivEmployeeFullName2"
"OtherUnivEmployeeFullName3" are shown.
If "OtherUnivEmployeesInvolved" = "No": These 3 fields are hidden.
2.
If "OutsideRepresentVendor" = "Yes":
The fields
"OutsideIndividualLastName"
"OutsideIndividualFirstName"
"OutsideIndividualCompanyName"
"OutsideCompanyStreetAddress"
"OutsideCompanyCity"
"OutsideCompanyState"
"OutsideCompanyZip" are shown.
If "OutsideRepresentVendor" = "No": These 7 fields are hidden.
I have this basic validation code when a user hits the save button:
Code:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Dim ctrl As Control
For Each ctrl In Me.Controls
If ctrl.Tag <> "skip" Then
[Code] .....
Within "1." - If yes is selected, I only need "OtherUnivEmployeeFullName1" required.
Usually skipping FullName2 and FullName3 would be easy using the ctrl.tag "skip" but I am already using the control to show hide these fields so how to do that.
Within "2." - If yes is selected, I need all 7 fields required.
So I need to figure out how to require fields based on those Yes/No selections because right now the form is checking every field regardless of the yes/no selections. I would also need to skip "OtherUnivEmployeeFullName2" and "OtherUnivEmployeeFullName3" everytime.
I am looking to ensure the user enters a complex password, in the add user form. Therefore, the password should be >8 characters, 2 numbers, 1 Ucase min, 1 Lcase min and some form of punctuation. I found this code:
unction ValidatePassword(ByVal pwd As String,
Optional ByVal minLength As Integer = 8,
Optional ByVal numUpper As Integer = 2,
Optional ByVal numLower As Integer = 2,
Optional ByVal numNumbers As Integer = 2,
Optional ByVal numSpecial As Integer = 2) As Boolean
[Code] ....
but obviously this doesn't work in access. How can i either change it to work for microsoft access, or how would i go about developing it. What would the code be?
I have textbox1 with validation rule and mask.
When i scan by barcode scanner not validate data, then i get info - Bla, bla, bla data isn't validate and window with OK button.
When i press OK, then cursor stops at end of scanned number. How to select (mark all scanned number in this TextBox1 for new info scanning) after this OK button pressing?
I have done some basic data validation on a form, but I cannot seem to apply data validation to my subtotalled column called SUM FTE.
For the field properties on the Data tab I have the following:
Control Source: =SUM([FTE])
Validation Rule: >1
Validation Text: Total FTE is >1
My test:
Employee A - .50 FTE
Employee A - .60 FTE
SUM: 1.10
Data Validation should indicate SUM FTE >1, but no validation is being reflected on form.
When I learnt to use vba in excel (to basic level) I was always advised in a userform to validate data at end of record input i.e. when pressing enter and next. Is this true also with access or should i be putting validation rules at the afterupdate stage of a particular control?
View 1 Replies View RelatedTextBox1 Validation Rule is
>=0 And <21
I would like to replace the error message
" The value you entered doesn't meet the validation rule...."
I made a start with the OnUpdate Event
If Me.TextBox1 <= 1 Then
Msgbox "Whoops..."
Else
End If
But, although my message box appears, (nothing else does) the Validation Rule is ignorred and then zero entry causes an error.
So, I'm guessing, my If Statement has to catch the whole Validation (somehow). Am I on the right lines?
I have a main form which has couple of subforms bound to one main table. One of the subfomrs is about employment info. It has 3 TextBoxes: (Job Start Date), (Employer Name), and (Wage).
It has also 3 ComboBoxes: (Job Type [Full Time or Part Time]), (Hire Status [Permanent or Temporary]), (Quarter [1st, 2nd, or 3rd]).
I want to force users to fill all these 6 fields if they put any value in any one of them. I tried to set a Validation Rule in the TextBox/ComboBox’s property including IIF statement condition, but I did not succeed, and these rules did not work.I put the following code in the subform’s (After Update), (Before Update), and (On Current) events which works very well when I keep the (Wage) value 0 and move to a new record or to another subform:
Private Sub Form_AfterUpdate()
If Me.[Start Date] > 0 And Me.Wage.Value = 0 Then
MsgBox "You did not put how much is the wage."
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
[code]....
how to make a similar validation rule for the other TextBoxes and ComboBoxes.
Can't we give conditions on Validation Rules? (Like IIf)
IIf(getusername()=[Log_Resource],Between DateAdd("d",-1,Date()) And Date(),Between DateAdd("d",-2,Date()) And Date())
I have a textbox on a subform to allow a delivery qty to be entered (to allow me to cater for part deliveries). I have a query which totals up the values of this field (so that I have a total of all the deliveries for this record) and compares that value against another field (to check that the total deliveries I have entered do not total more than the ordered qty). I am using this query within the "Validation Rule" of the textbox. My problem is that when I enter the values for the first time this works fine because the figures are not yet part of the query and therefore the check works fine, however if I try to modify a figure I've already entered it triggers the validation each time because it tries to add the new value to the query total.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi I would like to ensure all fields on the form are filled before a user exits the db. I have a quit button on my form and it is there for people to exit entirely from access. I need to validate the form and display a message if not all fields are filled. This way i will safeguard against any bad records.
how do i look through all the records to display a message and wait til they follow a procedure before exiting?

I am using Access 2010 on Windows 7 (64-bit).
I have create a table clients that contains multiple column i.e. Id, First Name, Last Name, Starting Date, Company , while defining the table I did not mark REQUIRED property of any column
I have created a form based on this table "CLIENTS",
I create the company as combo box and taking the list from COMPANIES.ID
I put the validation rule as IS NOT NULL and put validating text Select Company from list.
If I marked REQUIRED property of this column in table definition as YES then it displays system generated message with tablename.controlname, while i want to display my own message.
But when i input the data and leave the Company column blank the validation is not executed.
There are three columns in the form on which I want to apply the same validation.
I am working on a form that registers new training attendees. One of the fields in my form asks for dealer number.
I have a separate table where all the dealer information is stored. One of the fields is a Customer Number field
I want to ensure that entries in the Dealer Number textbox on my New Registration form matches a valid Customer Number in the Dealer Database Table
I would like this verification to occur either upon a Click event with a button or on an After Update event.
I am trying to create a validation rule whereby If a box is checked it makes sure that before saving and moving to the next form several, though not all fields are valid.
Ive tried many variations of:
([x] Is Not Null) OR ([Y] is Null) And ([x] Is Not Null) OR ([Y] is Null] etc etc for the fields I need covered.
Either the rule doesnt work at all or else all data input is invalid!
All -
I am experiencing an issue with the following code. The code works fine, I'm just not sure where to place it on a subform in a Tab Control to ensure that all validation is done before the user can move to another tab.
Any ideas what event I need place this on? I tried the BeforeUpdate and it popped up first error box, but then proceeded onto the next tab that I clicked.
Thanks!

When user submits record on form, by pushing the arrow to move forward to new form, or back to previous ones, I would like to ensure that they have met a specific criteria in some fields.
How can I catch this without using VB Access? I can use VB Access, but would like to know how "normal" users would force form validation.
Much appreciation for lesson.
