I have 6 test boxes with the following input mask 99;;0 I am trying to force users to enter either 0, 1 or 2 digits. This works fine for the first box but then all the rest give the invalid entry error message no matter what I enter.
Whichever one I enter data in first works and then the rest dont.
HOW DO I DO THE FOLLOWING:
I want to use input mask in my email field i.e the @ must be present but i must be allowed to input values or numbers before and after the @. This did not worked because i have fixed the values: ????@????
thanks
Dear All,
Is there any way that I can use an input mask to enter serial numbers of softwares.....
the data will be like this...
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.

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how I can format my access tables with multiple input masks under one field?
In my table I have formatted my telephone numbers so that they read (xxx) xxx-xxxx which suits our predominantly UK based business telephone numbers, however we also have a lot of Irish numbers which follow a different configuration e.g. (xxxxx) xxxx-xxxx - how can I add this second input mask so that both formats are recognised within the same column/ field?
Many thanks

Is it possible to set up an input mask for a form for a surname field so that names will show first letter of name as a capital (easy), as in Smith - but for names like O'Connor, show the first and second letters as capitals? (and, of course, allow the ' to be entered).
Thanks.

I want the input mask to allow valid previous and present dates but not future. Any help appreciated, thanks in advance,
