Hi all,
I was wondering how i would be able to restrict the entry of a textbox to only numeric data input. I have a input append form and to reduce errors one aspect is limit the entry in a textbox to numeric data only (i.e. numbers). Any help appreciated, thanks in advance,
M-.
I have a filter (via textbox) on a form that only allows 1 character at a time to be typed (!!?) ie: after typing in "a" it highlights it, which means the next letter I type in, replaces the "a".When I use the mouse to re-click after the letter entered, it does allow further characters.What am I missing here?The code for the filter:Private Sub txtClientSearch_Change() On Error GoTo ErrorHandler Forms!frmClient.Filter = "Name Like " & Chr$(34) & "*" & Forms!frmClient!txtClientSearch.Text & "*" & Chr$(34) Forms!frmClient.FilterOn = TrueExitProcedure: Exit Sub ErrorHandler: DisplayError "txtClientSearch_Change", Me.Name Resume ExitProcedureEnd SubMany thanks!..Is it anything to do with Focus?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI started off with a blank form and added a command button, three labels and a text box. None of these are bound to anything.
The sole purpose of this form is to show the progress of a VB script I've written that retrieves all the table names and the number of records contained in each. This information is also exported to Excel.
Everything works great apart from the log I'm producing inside the text box. This log is just a replica of what is being exported to Excel. Once the log reaches a length of 1,837 characters, it fails to have anything else added to it. The code below is where I have an error returned.
Code:
Me.LogList1.Text = Me.LogList1.Text & vbCrLf & tdf.Name & "|" & intRecCount
The error I receive is "Run-time error '2176': The setting for this property is too long.". From what I've read elsewhere though, an unbound text box is meant to have a character limit of a good few thousand. Around 60,000 from what I remember.
I did try a few other options such as using a label or a listbox but they weren't great. The label doesn't support a scroll bar and if the text goes past the size of the label it doesn't scroll down by default. A list box worked but I want the user to be able to copy the text after in-case the Excel report doesn't work for whatever reason.
I could possibly setup a table with a single field set to 'memo' and bound the text box to that. I don't know if that works though as I don't want to have to create an extra table. This form is to be used across other databases when required and this solution would add an unnecessary table to the list (which I could code out) and also means the table has to be exported to the other database along with the form.
Why my text box is limited to around 1,837 characters?
Is it possible to have a text box momentarily show the character that is input, and then hide it with a dot (or similar)?
This is for password input so that users can see momentarily, but others won't be able to.
I am building a form in access and I am trying to find a way where user input isn't possible in the associated textbox when "No" from on option box is selected.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a text field having data i-e HO-1, HO,2, ACW-25 and so on. The field name is nBadge_num and is Unique. The data in this field is sorted automatically like 1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 2, 3, 4, 5...because this is the text field.
The number on the form is automatically generated, when the user type HO- for example on field exit event. The last number will generate like HO-5.
Code for automatic number generation is:
Dim dbs As Database, rst As Recordset, Response
Set dbs = CurrentDb
Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("SELECT Max(Right([nBadge_Num],Len([nBadge_Num])-" & Len(Me.NBadge_Num) & ")) AS MaxNo " _
[Code]....
My problem is when the number is generated it give HO-5 instead of HO-14, How can I sort the numeric part of the field ?
I have a database that I want to install on a client's pc as a demo only. I want to restrict the number of records he can enter to 3. Is this possible in access? I will appreciate any help. Thx!

hi all
i have created a form to enter details into a 'job' table.
here is the part of the form my question deals with.
FIELD- Airport DATATYPE- Yes/No
FIELD- Terminal DATATYPE - Lookup wizard (the values 1-5 stored in a separate terminal table)
basically the system involves entering minicab jobs into the database.
the job may or may not be at the airport.
THE RESTRICTION I WANT TO PLACE ON THE JOB FORM/TABLE
if the airport checkbox is ticked (Yes), then the terminal value can be set (1-5) from the form.
if the airport checkbox is unticked (No), then the terminal value cannot be changed from the form.
if this can be done, how can it be done? anyone..??
I have impletemented a user system for my database with different access levels relating to entering and editing data.
I would like to make certain forms only accessible to a specific group of users. Is this possible and how?
Thanks,

View 3 Replies View RelatedHey all,
I'm having a horrible time trying to get this to work. Basically, I have a database which has multiple tables. All of my tables are being generated with a CREATE TABLE statement. What I would like to do is add a validation rule or something else upon creation so that only X number of entries can be entered into the table.
Initially, I just added a rule that said id<5 or whatever manually to the table in order to restrict the number of entries, but I can't figure out how to do this automatically in my SQL statement or Visual basic. I want to be able to have this check added upon table creation. Surely what I'm doing must be possible.
Am I going about it the wrong way? Any Help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have a HUGE system which presently restricts updating a "Final Action" date to today's date only. However, I want to change it so users can input dates for only the present working week. The present coding is as follows...
Private Sub dteActioned_AfterUpdate()
Dim strTime As String
strTime = "07:30"
gintChanged = gintChanged + 1
If Not IsNull(Me![dteActioned]) Then
If Me![dteActioned] > Now Then
gintReply = MsgBox("Your actioned date is later than today !!", vbOKOnly + vbCritical, "Oops")
Me![dteActioned] = Null
Me![dteActioned].SetFocus
GoTo Exit_dteActioned_AfterUpdate:
Else
If Format(Me![dteActioned], "dd/mm/yyyy") < Format(Date, "dd/mm/yyyy") Then ' final action earlier than today
If Weekday(Now) = 2 And Format(Now, "hh:mm") > strTime Then
' If Weekday(Now) = 6 And Format(Now, "hh:mm") > strTime Then
' Not acceptable to enter a previous date
' older than 7 days is not acceptable
gintReply = MsgBox("Now too late to accept this 'Final Action' date !", vbOKOnly + vbCritical, "Oops")
Me![dteActioned] = Null
Me![dteActioned].SetFocus
GoTo Exit_dteActioned_AfterUpdate:
Else
' Previous date is acceptable but only as far back as 7 days
If CVDate(Me![dteActioned]) < CVDate(Now) Then
' older than 7 days is not acceptable
gintReply = MsgBox("Now too late to accept this 'Final Action' date !", vbOKOnly + vbCritical, "Oops")
Me![dteActioned] = Null
Me![dteActioned].SetFocus
GoTo Exit_dteActioned_AfterUpdate:
End If
End If
Else
' Actioned date is acceptable since it is today's date
DoEvents
End If
End If
End If
' if today is a Monday Only accept final action dates which fall within the previous week if today
Exit_dteActioned_AfterUpdate:
End Sub
Probably very simple but I just can't get it to work. Help please! Time is short.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a main form which employees use to report their bi-weekly time. The main form is automatically assigned a [RecordID] and the employee must select their [Profile] from a combo box. This main form contains (2) sub-forms. Both sub-forms use the same data source table.The first sub-form is visible in the body of the main form and linked by the [RecordID] and employee [Profile]. The employee enters each date worked and hours for the reporting period.
The second sub-form is hidden and linked to the main form by the employee [Profile], basically keeping a running ledger of all the dates and hours reported by the employee. What I would like to do is have a message box appear if the employee mistakenly enters date that has already been reported.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a staff database in my office which holds, amongst other things a list of staff holiday taken. Presently the staff have no access to view holidays because they will also be able to view other employees details. What I need to do is enable members of staff to see their own holiday, but no others and Im really not sure how to go about it.
I have a workgroup in place; so each user has their own login/password.
Any ideas would be gratefully received.
Thanks,

Hi, I would like to know how to do the following scenario in Access 2000.
Imagine I have a table, which has two fields X and Y.
User can only enter either field X or Y, but not both.
How to check the above case while user is real-time keying in the fields of the table?
Thanks, Sally
I have the below script:
For Each Item In offexchfldr.Items.Restrict("[SenderName] = '" & frmfm & "'") ' Select Items that match Sender Name on form
If Item.TaskSubject = subid Then
Item.Categories = frmcat ' Update category from form to outlook
Item.Save
End If
Next
This script checks every item in the outlook inbox where the item.SenderName = my database sendername
This works every time except for when the sendername has quotes or single quotes in their name. So i am trying to utlize the replace method on the item sendername before trying to find the items in the inbox but its not working.
Below is my attempt that does not work.
For Each Item In offexchfldr.Items.Restrict("Replace([SenderName],',"") = '" & frmfm & "'") ' Select Items that match Sender Name on form
I want to restrict the users to only be able to access certain tabs in the ribbon .example "user1" cannot access the external tab and the create tab, but can access all others.
