How Can I Limit Number Of Digits Entered In The Text Box? Please Help!

Dec 14, 2005

Hi 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

Define Number Of Digits In Table Fields

Jul 14, 2005

I'm just to work with Fox Pro, and I am therefore puzzled with how to define the exact number of digits in a field in a table in Access. If I need 9 digits + 2 decimals in a number filed, how do I define that in design view?

Also, I need to know how to export a table into a text file, with a format without any spaces, and each record is divided with a new line. This an old IBM text format file.

Thanks, Torsan

Forms :: Sort Alphanumeric Fields Where Number Of Digits Not Always Same

Mar 13, 2013

I want to know if there's a way to sort alphanumeric fields where the number of digits aren't always the same.

Example: I have the following: 2a, 10a, 3a.

Currently, it sorts: 10a, 2a, 3a.

Is there a way to get it to sort 2a, 3a, 10a without adding a 0 before 2a and 3a?

Hi,

I have searched for an answer to this question a lot, but I could not find it. I hope anyone can help me with the following:

I need to do a database in MS Access; however, there is so much information and some of it is not related. After normalising it, it looks like I need a number of tables. Is there a limit to how many tables you can have on Access? And how many tables is the recommended size?

Any help will be very much appreciated.

Limit Number Of Records....

Mar 29, 2005

Hi All.
Is it possible to limit the number of records in a form, to a number given in a linked form.

For Example.

tblA
StreetName
No_Of_Houses


tblB
Name
Number

I would only want the number of records in tblB to be the same as No_Of_Houses in tblA.
I have seen previous threads where you can limit it to a number, but do not know where to go from there.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Frank.

Limit Number Of Results

Jul 29, 2005

I am designing a database for a marketing company. One of my tables has all of the company's contacts. On the contacts form, I have a button that opens up a query that shows the information for the company that contact works for. I have a problem where if I have more than one contact per company, it will return that many results (which is just a repeated list of the same company information). It is an eyesore to look at the same information in two or more rows, so I was wondering, can I make the query return only one result? I've been looking online, and I haven't found this at all. Thanks a lot.

Limit Number Of Record Entries

Mar 3, 2006

HeyI'm trying to create a Library database. This involves restricting the number of loans available to each member (currently 3). I need to make it so no more than 3 records exist in that table for each member. For now ive just entered a VB script that has a message box saying not to enter more than 3 loans per person but I dont think thatll be enough, I need some sort of validation for the whole table rather than a field.I know how to limit the returns of sql queries which is all I can find, but not how to limit the actual amount of entries. The loan table is part of a double query within a subform of the member form if it helps :s

Queries :: Dynamic Top Value According To Number Entered By User?

Dec 17, 2013

Is it possible to have the user enter the number of top records to choose in a query?

I know that you can enter a number or percentage in the Top Values property of the query but I would like the user to be able to enter this number each time they run the query since it may be different each time and not always, say, the top 10 records.
