Validation Rule: Only Alphanumeric
Dec 14, 2007I know that I could have done a better effort searching the forums and other places but you'd think that the answer to this would be easy: how do you set a Validation Rule for a field where a person can only enter an alphanumeric value?
I'm setting up an invoice tracking database and one of the recurring problems end users have is the inconsistent entering of an invoice number with symbols. We want to eliminate this and have them enter ONLY alphanumeric values. In other systems I've used, this has been easy to setup. But not in Access. Can someone advise? I've been trying to deal with this for two days.
Thanks...
Tables :: Create A Field Validation Rule?
Mar 25, 2014I 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 ?
Tables :: Set Validation Rule For Unit Field In Design View
May 1, 2013I 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.
Forms :: Change Validation Rule Msgbox
May 15, 2013TextBox1 Validation Rule is
>=0 And <21
I would like to replace the error message
" The value you entered doesn't meet the validation rule...."
I made a start with the OnUpdate Event
If Me.TextBox1 <= 1 Then
Msgbox "Whoops..."
Else
End If
But, although my message box appears, (nothing else does) the Validation Rule is ignorred and then zero entry causes an error.
So, I'm guessing, my If Statement has to catch the whole Validation (somehow). Am I on the right lines?

May 3, 2013I 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.

Change Field To Alphanumeric (text) From Number Type?
Nov 13, 2014I have an existing form where users type in information and it generates a couple of reports. In one of the fields, Customer PO Number, the user enters a number from a customer. Up until yesterday all of the customers we have been dealing with have used numbers only for their PO numbers. However, we have a new customer that requires alphanumeric PO's. Is there a simple way to change this field from a number to alphanumeric without having to redo each form, report and/or query. I am using MS Access 2010.
View 9 Replies View RelatedTables :: Table Validation Rule - IIF Statement
Feb 27, 2014I 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

Validation Rule On Field In A Table
Apr 10, 2007Hi
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!

View 3 Replies View RelatedValidation Rule For A Month Field
Aug 10, 2011In 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.

Tables :: Validation Rule Doesn't Recognize Hyphen As Text
Feb 15, 2013I'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?
Table Validation Rule - Field Accepts Only A-Z
Feb 9, 2006I 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?
Forms :: Validation Rule - 1 Field To Multiple Fields
Aug 12, 2013I 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:

Either the rule doesnt work at all or else all data input is invalid!
Validation Rule - Enter 9 Numbers Into Field Including 0 In The Beginning
Feb 29, 2012I only want the user to be able to enter 9 numbers into the field including 0 in the beginning if needed.

Else I'll just use an Input Mask
Validation Rule
Nov 22, 2005Hey 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!
Validation Rule
Nov 27, 2005Relatively 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, 2008Hi,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
