Tables :: Odd / Even Validation Rule Between Two Fields
May 3, 2013
I am building a scoring system for an Archery Tournament and am trying to add some extra validation between two fields.I want to check the contents of one field against another.So if Field A has an even value, then Field B must also be even, and if Field A has an Odd value, Field B must be odd.Would it also be possible to add an exception such that if Field B = 0 then the validation rule does not apply?I am only a very occasional user of Access, and don't have a very good grasp of the code structure in it, but am prepared to try and learn.
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!
I want to create a field validation rule that requires the user to input a policy number in a standard format. The format has a fixed length of 13 with three underlying components. The first 3 digits identify coverage, the next 7 are the policy number and the final three must always be "-00".
Example: GLO1234567-00
Is it possible to create a validation rule for this ? If so, can you provide the code based on the simple example above ?
I cant figure out a fairly simple IIF statement I need for a table validation rule. I'll try to explain:
I have 2 fields in a table that are controlled through a form, which sets the fields either true (-1) or false (0). Lets call them Field1 and Field2. These fields need a validation rule which is dependent on FieldX and FieldY.
When FieldX = FieldY, I need Field1 to be either 0 or -1
if Field1 is 0 -> Field2 is -1 and the other way around.
Tbl1 - Abbreviations: with fields (1) "Abbreviation" and (2) "Definition" Tbl2 - Piping: with multiple fields one of which is "Unit"
In Design View of Tbl2, I'd like to set the "Validation Rule" for the "Unit" field so that it is restricted to values in field 1 of the Abbreviations Table (i.e. one of the listed abbreviations").
I tried variations of "[Tables]![Abbreviations]![Abbreviation]" in the "Validation Rule" portion of the Design View for Tbl2 (Piping) but, couldn't get this to work.
Basically in my order details table i have the following fields
Product Unit Size
At the moment i have the Product field with a dropdown that gives me all the products from my ProductT. But once i choose the correct product in the unit field it gives me all the possibilities of every product not just the units associated with that product. ie
ProductT Grasshopper Box1000 Adult Grasshopper Box1000 Subadult Worm 10pz Big
When I select the grasshopper product and move on to the unit field i also get "10pz" option but this is not a product available.
How do i set up validation of the fields Unit and size based on another fields data?
Hey I have a little problem, I have this assignment for school to make a simple database, I did all that but there's one little thing I can't seem to find. I have to limit a Field's length to 15, but not through Field Size but thanks to a validation rule, and since I don't know a lot of validation rule commands I have no idea what the syntax is for the field length. How can I do this, it's pretty urgent actually, need to have this by tomorrow :s Thanks!
Relatively new to access, just trying to create a range in a validation rule. What I have are 2 cells, Date_Taken and Date_Returned. I want Date_Returned to only accept values between: Date_Taken and equal to or less than the current date.
Between "Date_Taken" And <=Now()
is what I've got at the mo', yet it's not working. I'm gathering that I'm referring to the Date_Taken cell incorrectly. Any help? I don't see any tools to fix such a thing.
Hey guys, what is the easiest way to validate a field based on another.
I have 2 combo box, lets say cboOne and cboTwo. If cboOne = 1 then cboTwo must be blank/Null. Can I place this validation in the table validation properties. If so, how do I word the validation code.
Hi,I'm really struggling to try and find a solution to a problem.I need to find a validation rule that only accepts:letters, spaces and hyphens (-) in the field.I have tried for at least 14 hours today and most of yesterday afternoon, but I just can't get it.The furthest I've got is rejecting everything except from letters and spaces, with each these codes individually:(I've only listed a few so you could see just a fraction of what I'd already tried)Is Null Or Not Like "*[!((a-z) or (Chr(32),Chr(45)))]*"Is Null Or Not Like "*[!((a-z) or (Chr(32)) or (Chr(45)))]*"Is Null Or Not Like "*[!((a-z) and (Chr(32)) and (Chr(45)))]*"Is Null OR Not Like "*[!((a-z) or (( ),(-)))]*"Is Null OR Not Like "*[!((a-z) or ( ) or (-)))]*"Is Null OR Not Like "*[!((a-z) and ( ) and (-)))]*"Is Null Or Not Like "*[!((a-z), ,-)]*"However, it is also rejecting hyphens, which I need it to accept.Also, unfortunately it is accepting bracketsHopefully someone here will have a solution, because I'm stumped, :confused:James
Question about validation rules. I have a user who has set up a validation rule to allow certain values to be entered.
Something like if the value equals 4 or equals 5 then it would accept it. Now she would like the validation be set so they can put both 4 and 5 in together. How can this be done?
What would be the 'validation rule' to input into the properties window for a Client ID? - (validation rule would make sure that none of the Client ID's are the same). ;)
Table: TRANSACTIONS Field: DATE Field: AMOUNT Field: loads more...
What I want is a validation rule on the AMOUNT field, which says that the data entered cannot be greater than the number in the PARM1 field. I can't get this to work, and I reckon it's becuase there's one record in the PARAMETERS table, but lots in TRANSACTIONS. In solving this problem I do not want to add any more records to PARAMETERS. The idea of that table is that it is an easy way to customise the database, not a way of storing data. I've putting this in the validation rule box (but it didn't work): =<Tables![PARAMETERS]![PARM1]
hi i am new to access but i am trying my hands on it...i have a problem:i want to put some validation rule(constraints) on a field in the table such that user can only able to enter only 10 digit number and even if that number starts form "0" then it shows the starting zeros without concatenation.for ex if user put 0681482803 then it should not convert back to 681482803also one more thing i want to ask what is the best Field size for 10 digit number.. as long integer doesn't fulfill the requirement and double is very large
I have a form that records a unique number which requires a full stop to be present. Is there anyway of ensuring a user has to enter a "." somewhere in this box?
I almost read all posts about validation rules and I cant find solution for my problem. I want to set that users must enter 13 numbers no more no less in form field,and if this condition is not satisfy I want to give warning to users with pop up massage. Is it posible to make with validation rule or I must use code.
Hello can anyone help me I am trying to make a validation rule for a field. It needs to be Between 0 And 28 OR "NA". When I use this in the validation property it works for the numbers and text but if you input say NJ or any other combination it issues a message box saying cannot evaluate the constraint, check Validation rules. Am I missing some important syntax or something. Any help gratefully appreciated. Barry
I want to restrict data entry to a three letter code. It must be letters and not numbers. I am entering the rule at table level so that should I pass the db onto someone else the rule remains in place even if somebody creates a new user interface. Thank you
