Limit The No. Of Characters In An Unbound Textbox?
Sep 1, 2006Is there a way to limit the number of characters that can be entered into an unbound textbox on my form?
I have a search textbox, where a jobId is entered and button is clicked to search. The numbers are generally 8-digit. I just noticed one of my users trying to enter 9489858939349839434 :eek: ohh lawd. Please help me stop these people before they break my db...
Forms :: Unbound TextBox Character Limit
Feb 17, 2015I started off with a blank form and added a command button, three labels and a text box. None of these are bound to anything.
The sole purpose of this form is to show the progress of a VB script I've written that retrieves all the table names and the number of records contained in each. This information is also exported to Excel.
Everything works great apart from the log I'm producing inside the text box. This log is just a replica of what is being exported to Excel. Once the log reaches a length of 1,837 characters, it fails to have anything else added to it. The code below is where I have an error returned.
Code:
Me.LogList1.Text = Me.LogList1.Text & vbCrLf & tdf.Name & "|" & intRecCount
The error I receive is "Run-time error '2176': The setting for this property is too long.". From what I've read elsewhere though, an unbound text box is meant to have a character limit of a good few thousand. Around 60,000 from what I remember.
I did try a few other options such as using a label or a listbox but they weren't great. The label doesn't support a scroll bar and if the text goes past the size of the label it doesn't scroll down by default. A list box worked but I want the user to be able to copy the text after in-case the Excel report doesn't work for whatever reason.
I could possibly setup a table with a single field set to 'memo' and bound the text box to that. I don't know if that works though as I don't want to have to create an extra table. This form is to be used across other databases when required and this solution would add an unnecessary table to the list (which I could code out) and also means the table has to be exported to the other database along with the form.
Why my text box is limited to around 1,837 characters?
Modules & VBA :: Township Section Limit Values In Textbox
Sep 22, 2013Trying to figure out during the key down event -
a.) how to also stop a leading zero (e.g. don't allow 04, but allow 4)
b.) Don't allow any combination of numbers to be outside 1 to 36
Yes, I can do this on a validate event after the fact. Just wondering if there is anything that could put this all into the KeyDown event to prevent errors in the first place.
This code works great to prevent any key entry except 0..9, Tab, and backspace
Code:
Private Sub txtSectionNumber_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
Select Case KeyCode ' only accept a number 0 to 9 Backspace or Tab
Case vbKey0, vbKey1, vbKey2, vbKey3, vbKey4, vbKey5, vbKey6, vbKey7, vbKey8, vbKey9, vbKeyBack, vbKeyTab
' do nothing and accept the value
Case Else
KeyCode = 0
End Select
End Sub
In the US Western States, a survey township is simply a geographic reference used to define property location for deeds and grants as surveyed and platted by the General Land Office (GLO). A survey township is nominally six by six miles square. They are assigned numbers of 1 to 36.

Any help would be much appreciated.

How Can I Limit Number Of Digits Entered In The Text Box? Please Help!
Dec 14, 2005Hi guys,
I have a text box, which requires a 8-digit number entry. I have wrote the code to check that the length is 8 and if it isn't a label will turn visible next to the field telling the user entry must be 8 digits.
This works for when i enter a number less than 8-digits but when i input a number with more digits as it does not fit into the text box it turns it to a scientific format value and when the code runs it shows the length is actually 8! And therefore the entry is valid!
I.e. when i input 123456789 the text box shows 1.23E+08 which is 8 charecters!
I dont want any error messages to pop up as i handle them by code and use labels to show the error message next to the problem field and i would like to keep this consistent. Is there any way i can do this by a function or a property in the table or form?
I appreciate any help/advice
cheers
Tables :: Not Enough Memory Or Diskspace / Text Box 255 Limit

View 11 Replies View RelatedQueries :: Limit Query Results To Numeric Value Of Text Field?
Aug 18, 2014I have a table that has several fields including CallID (autonumber) and SKU (text)
SKU can be anything up to 9 characters, sometimes numeric sometimes alphanumeric. For example: 24300, AA23145, G58d444, 24999, 89332,...
Based on the Count of CallID I can easily get the top20 calls on each SKU. This is the query I use for that:
Code:
SELECT TOP 20 Count(Calls.CallID) AS CountOfCallID, Calls.SKU
FROM Calls
GROUP BY Calls.SKU
HAVING ((Not (Calls.SKU) Is Null))
ORDER BY Count(Calls.CallID) DESC;
The problem is that now I have been asked to create two different lists. One that has the top 20 SKU that range from 24520 and 24599 and another one that does the res tof the SKUs.
Obviously my problem is that the SKU field is text, not numbers so I can't just limit the results in the query by using "Between 24520 and 24500" in the query criteria.

Adding Text Into A Textbox
Dec 20, 2005Hi
Is the following possible?
I have the code to add the text to a textbox, but what I would like to do is rather than to keep adding the text onto the end.
Make it so that it will add it before what I previously added, so that the newer data is always at the top.
Can I do this? The following is how I'm currently entering the data into the textbox:
If IsNull(Me.LastContact) Then
Me.LastContact = Me.List35.Value & " contacted " & Me.List38.Value & " by " & Me.cmboEngagement & " on " & Date & vbCrLf & _
txtInput.Value
Else
If Not IsNull(Me.LastContact) Then
Me.LastContact = Me.LastContact & vbCrLf & Me.txtInput.Value
End If
End If
Thanks

Quick question, how would you advise I do the following.
I have a form with an unbound textbox.

I have a table with this information in that contains an ID, a memo field which lists the details, and a date field.
I would like to list all the details based on an ID, and with the newest details being the first listed.
How would I go about doing this?

Using A Checkbox To Return Text Based On Another Textbox
Apr 26, 2005Dear All:
I have a form with three items:a checkbox called "Check231", a textbox called "text921" and another textbox called "text762".
What I wish to do is: Enter text in textbox921, which stays the same as I scroll through each record. Then If checkbox check231 is checked, it displays text from textbox921 to textbox762. Textbox762 is bounded to the form.
Any ideas on how to get started?
Many thanks,

Forms :: Fill Textbox With Text If It Is Null?
Jul 3, 2014I am trying to use this expression in my textbox to show when the textbox value is null:
=IIf(IsNull([ContractStatus]),"Null",[ContractStatus])
It gives me a circular reference error (#error in the textbox). If I change it to this:
=IIf(IsNull([ContractStatus]),"Null","ContractStatus"), it will display the text "Contract Status" (obviously).
What am I overlooking here? Does this need to be done in VBA?
