How To Make Input Mask Of The Date
Oct 23, 2005
Hi:
MS Access
In Table:
I want to make the input mask as mmddyy
Date/Time datatype
when the user enter the date value eg. 072105 => 7/21/2005 (system change)
I want to skip the slash character.
Can I do that in table?
I know that Text datatype, there is one input mask __/__/__
But, I want to use Date/Time datatype.
Please let me know.
Thanks.

How to make an input mask display more than one character?I'm building a db for work, and multiple (non-IT) people will enter data. Instead of having the input mask for the date field display as ##-###-####, I would like it to display as DD-MMM-YYYY.

I have data recorded using an input mask,
"RF">L-0000;;*
to display data in the style: RFA-0001, RFA-0002 etc.
I have a make table query to join this field to another, to create a combo box look up.
Unfortunately, after I run the query, the only data from the input mask that gets imported is A0001, A0002 etc.
What have I done wrong? I guess the error must be in my specification for the input mask...
Any and all help gratefully received.

I have used 00/00/00;_ as an input mask for the date. the format of the date is Short Date.
The problem that i am facing is when i type the invalid date 29/02/07 to test whether it rejects it! it accepts the date and automatically changes the date to 07/02/2029 which is wrong. can someone help me sort this problem. any help would be much appreciated.

I have a query that has a date/time field (mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss), I have created another field using the following syntax " Sdate: Format([AgentCallDetailInCalls.StartTime],"Short Date") ", I prompt the user for a date using this sdate field I created. The prompt syntax is [Please Enter Start Date]. Currently you have to enter 2/22/2008 (with slashes), I would like to enter 2222008 (without the slashes) to extract the data. The mask I have setup, does nothing. If I put in the date without the slashes, I get nothing, if I put in the slashes, it runs perfectly. Does anyone know a way around this? Thanks in advance for your most knowledgeable response. :confused:

We have employee dates of birth in our database. For a birthday gift exchange program, I want to generate a query that returns only the day and the month of the employee birthday (to placate those employees who wish not to disclose their exact age). I'm struggling with making a custom date input mask that will do this.

Good day... beginner Access user (converting from Lotus Approach) and need some help please. Please excuse my novice... I'm on a deadline at work and need help:
-- Data source: MS Excel Table
-- Database form: MS Access 2003
My form is using the excel table as its data source. There are two fields: TELEPHONE AND FAX
When I try to use the input mask in Access to view the numbers in TELEPHONE FORMAT, it keeps telling me the input mask works only on text or date fields. Do I have to first modify the field format in excel? What does this error mean?

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?

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

When you add a new column you can select different data types such as text, memo, currency,...
When I pick currency and typ in 12345 in the column and press tab it automatically puts the € sign behind 12345.....

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!

I 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.
