Tables :: Validation Rule For Date
Dec 1, 2012I have a table with 2 field:
1. StartDate (format : Short Date)
2. EndDate (format : Short Date)
How can I validate for field EndDate must occur after StartDate using Validation Rule?
I have a table with 2 field:

I'm sure this is on the forum somewhere but have searched and searched... and had no luck.
I want my date feild to be set to enter a date no more than 2months in advance but a minium of a week in advance.
I have done this lol
week(1)<"">month(2)
I don;t actually have a clue, do you use "" to represent the value? also how do i do this date verify thing :P.
Thanks in advance
I have a date field in a table which is Short Date with an input mask of 99/00/000;0;_
I do not want (for reasons too complicated to go into here) to put this as a required field even though it is a required field (makes sense from my end!).
If I set Required Field to "No" what format can I put in the validation rule field so a message (from my validation text field) comes up if the field is left blank??
What would the validation rules be between two dates:
>01/09/07 however <01/09/11
and also
>01/09/07 however <present day
I am trying to create a validation rule for one of my fields.. i want it to be so that the user can not select a date to be on a Sunday..

View 4 Replies View RelatedI need to restrict data input to the following: "09:00" Or "11:00" Or "13:30" Or "15:30"
This rule works when the data type is set to text, but not on Date/Time with short date set as format
How to get a Date/Time type to accept only one from these four values.
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.
if FieldX <> FieldY -> Field1 = 0 and Field2 = 0
I need to restrict data input to the following: "09:00" Or "11:00" Or "13:30" Or "15:30"
This rule works when the data type is set to text, but not on Date/Time with short date set as format
get a Date/Time type to accept only one from these four values.
What would I need to enter into the validation rule to change the field to alphanumeric only?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'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?
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.
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
View 14 Replies View RelatedQuestion 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). ;)
View 4 Replies View RelatedHere'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
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?
Cheers:p

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.

How do I set up a validation rule for a table where the rule checks two fields to see if combined they are unique...i.e.
Field 1 Field 2
John Doe 12345
therefore in field 2 12345 cannot be used again when John Doe is used in the same record.
Thanks...
