Tables :: Table Validation Rule - IIF Statement

Feb 27, 2014

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.

if FieldX <> FieldY -> Field1 = 0 and Field2 = 0

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.

Tables :: Create A Field Validation Rule?

Mar 25, 2014

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 ?

Validation Rule - Table

Jan 29, 2005

I have field (SupplierID) set as Text and the field limited to 5.

I want the users to enter the first three digits as text e.g "ABC" and the last 2 digits as numerics e.g "01", thus the input would be "ABC01", I can validate it to 5 digits but cannot get the validation working on the numerics, e.g users can enter "ABCDE", Am i correct in thinking its because my field is set as text ?, is there a simple way to do this, thankyou.

Tables :: Validation Rule Doesn't Recognize Hyphen As Text

Feb 15, 2013

I'm struggling with a validation rule that almost works but not quite.

I want to restrict the values in a feild by characters between 0-9, A-Z, _ and -

Using the following string works for all except the hyphen, which I assume is because it's an operator:

Is Null OR Not Like "*[!((a-z) or (0-9) or (_) or (-))]*"

Is there something I can do to make it recognise the - as text?

Tables :: Set Validation Rule For Unit Field In Design View

May 1, 2013

I have two tables in Access 2010:

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.

Validation Rule On Field In A Table

Apr 10, 2007

Hi

I have a form which people fill in (made up of fields from Table1) to record when sick days.

On the form, they have to enter the "week commencing" (which is set at Medium Date format); then they have to enter in a first day (which is set at Short Date format).

The First Day should be no more than 7 days from the date that they enter in the Week commencing field on the form.

I want an error message to pop up if they do this, for example:

Week commencing: 1st April 2007
First Day: 10th April 2007

(because the 10th April 2007 is more than 7 days from the 1st April). But it would be ok if they did this:

Week commencing: 1st April 2007
First Day: 8th April 2007

Help???

thanks!

Table Validation Rule Doesn't Work...

Jan 28, 2005

Hello, all.

I have a table that contains a field (list) for categories [Inquiry Type], and a field that tracks category of any follow-ups [FU Inquiry Type].

The rule is: If [Inquiry Type]="F", than [FU Inquiry Type] Is not null.

For some reason, when I'm entering data, the validation rule does not take any effect....does not notice when [FU Inquiry Type] - which is also a list box - remains empty when [Inquiry Type] is an F.

I have entered the rule this way in the table property validation rule field:

(([Inquiry Type]="F" AND [FU Inquiry Type] Is Not Null) OR ([FU Inquiry Type] Is Null)

I already have data in this table, but have ensured that it conforms to the above rule. Can anyone help?

Validation Rule Based On Data In Table

Mar 8, 2005

Hi,

Does anyone know if its possible to base a validation rule on the data that is already in the field in a table?

e.g. there are 10 records in a table each with an ID number starting at 1 and going up to 10. When new record added i need a validation rule that will prompt the user to enter a number greater than the previous number entered for the ID.

so they will not be able to enter 1 - 10.

hope thats clear

cheers.

Validation Rule By Relating Data With Table

Dec 18, 2013

I have tried several ways to validate my data with existing table I've developed.

Actually, I want the access to validate the data (Cellphone number) I've entered in the textbox by looking it in the existing table. So, if the data is there in the table, the message will pop up such as.. "Please continue". But if not, the message should be "this number was not registered yet.." and the textbox will be empty and ready for the new number...

Using Table Data Query For Entry Validation Rule

Aug 15, 2007

I'm new to access so I thought this would be easier than it is. I have a list of cities in a simple table . I want use this list (or a query of it) to create a validation rule for a field in a second table "City". How, either with VBA or some other method do I use the Cities database to validate entry. These tables are both in the same project.

Any help is appreciated.

Validation Rules In CREATE TABLE Statement

Oct 9, 2007

Hi, I'm fairly new to Access and I'm trying to figure out how to create a validation rule via SQL. I searched through the forums but didn't find anything. Hope someone can point me in the right direction. For simplicity say I have the following extremely simple CREATE STATEMENT.

CREATE TABLE GAMES (
Name TEXT PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
Amount CURRENCY NOT NULL,
);

How could I rewrite the above query to specify that the only valid amounts allowed are say between 1 and 10?
I'm familiar with the Constraint statement and the Check clause but I can't get these to work in Access.

Validation Rule

Nov 27, 2005

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.

Validation Rule Help

Apr 2, 2008

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

Validation Rule

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?

Help With Validation Rule

May 7, 2005

Here's my problem:

Table: PARAMETERS
Field: PARM1
Field: SYMBOL

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]

Please help!
Thanks
