Date Parameter Input Mask
Feb 22, 2008I 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:

My form is using the excel table as its data source. There are two fields: TELEPHONE AND FAX

Forms :: How To Use Date Picker And Input Mask Together
Nov 26, 2013I 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?
General :: MS Access Time Input Mask
Feb 1, 2014I have a field in my table where I could enter time, I have formatted the field as "Short Time" with date/time data type. I have added a Input Mask for the time with 00:00 so we could only type 1530 quickly and it would taken it as 15:30 time. As there are thousands of entries each day, I have a quick question for the time. If we have time 8:30 AM, we have to input 0830 and it would enter it as 08:30 and its little odd to first enter "0" and then 830, Is it possible we could only enter 830 and it will taken the time as 08:30 and the rest of the things works like the same as it is working right now.

Add Input Mask To Video Field
Oct 14, 2015I am trying to add an input mask to my video Field, so that it is always enter correctly. V-1-2015, what I have so >"V-"099-0000, but it is showing spaces if nothing is inputted for the 99 fields, if I add in !>"V-"099-0000 it then removes those spaces since those are optional characters, but then the V is no longer capitalized. How can I correctly have an input mask that keeps the V always capitalized and have mandatory fields and optional fields without spaces. I want it to come out as V-1-2015, or V-11-2015 or V-111-2015.

View 2 Replies View RelatedProblem Entering External Data From Excel Into Access Field Using Input Mask
Mar 5, 2008Hi,
I'm new to this. I'm trying to enter data (it's actually Latitude and Longitude co-ordinates) from an existing Excel source into an Access database which has input masks of 00°00'00.00"L;0;0 (Latitude) and 000°00'00.00"L;0;0 (Longitude) in the respective fields. However I cannot get the information to import or display correctly. I did an "export data" of the respective table (hence fields) to Excel to try and get the correct entry format. An example of the Lat exported was 24°49'41.81"N and Long was 067°01'44.02"E (but with a very small ' in front but only visible in the data entry line in Excel, not in the actual spreadsheet table???)
However when I try to enter the data (even using the exact same little degree symbol, apostrophe, and quotation marks) it does not enter the access fields correctly. On closer scrutiny of the exported Excel format I note a small ' at the very beginning of the 24°49'41.81"N or 067°01'44.02"E string. But as I said previously only visible in the data entry line next to the formula button. Not on the spreadsheet cell.
However even when I "Paste Special" "values only" my new co-ordinates into the same entry location as one exported, it will still not import, or display correctly. If I go into the Access database directly there is a form where if I need to enter the new co-ordinates (using lat example above) I only have to enter 24 49 41 81 N (spaces between) and it will show correctly as 24°49'41.81"N
I'm getting desparate as I don't want to have to change all the details manually. Anyone know what my correct format from an Excel spreadsheet should be?
Apologies for lengthy story! Difficult to describe problem with degree symbols etc

Input Mask Maybe
Sep 15, 2005What 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.
Input Mask
Jan 31, 2005let'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
