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 ?

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.

I am trying to implement a conditional validation Rule. I think it goes like this:
=IIf(([cmbCC].[Column](0))=1,Between 10 And 20,6)
For some reason the true part (Between 10 And 20) is not working even though if I enter a number like :
=IIf(([cmbCC].[Column](0))=1,20,6)
is working just fine. Can someone help me on this please?

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 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

How can I use the validation rule to set field to required instead of checking required field, because I wish to customize the prompt message.
Thanks.

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!
Maria

I created a field in access 2010 called OptionalSubjects . It is a multi value field where a user can select multiple values from the combo box, the selection are ID from a query. Now i want to limit the user to only two selection from the multiple values available and not less than two. So the field is either NULL or two selection only. How can I achieve this in validation rule or vba.

In the forms for my database, I require the user to input a month and year. Due to how the reports are structured, I need the format of the month and year to be very specific. I tried to set the format as 'mmmm yyyy' however even though it is visibly displayed as this, in the table, the values are still stored as sometimes 6/1/2011 or June 2011 and Jun 2011, which in Access' eyes are two different values.
In the report, it will display June multiple times because of this format discrepancy. I am trying to create a validation rule to ensure the user will enter the month and year in the correct format, but how to go about writing the expression.

This is pretty simple but I need to place a validation rule in my table for a field so that users can only enter data that starts with APB. What would the rule be?

How to create a validation rule in relation to another fieldname in the same table?
For example, the first field line is the serial number, and when something is entered for the serial number the OTHER field line (which is quantity) needs to be 1, otherwise it stays blank.
I use access 2007 or 2010 depending what computer I'm using.

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?

I am wanting a text field in a table to accept only chars A - Z
In my validation rule I use
Like "a" Or "b" Or "c" Or "d" Or "e" Or "f" Or "g" Or "h" Or "i" Or "j" Or "k" Or "l" Or "m" Or "n" Or "o" Or "p" Or "q" Or "r" Or "s" Or "t" Or "u" Or "v" Or "w" Or "x" Or "y" Or "z"
Which works :D
Then validation text I use
Enter Alphabetical Letters only
Also works :D
Is there any short way to write Like A.....thorugh to Z without the long statement?

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 only want the user to be able to enter 9 numbers into the field including 0 in the beginning if needed.
I have this code in at the moment "Is Null OR Between 100000000 And 999999999", however if the number starts with a 0, it doesn't include it.
Else I'll just use an Input Mask

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). ;)
