MS Access Forum / Forms / May 2008Limit Number field - HELP
I'm trying to limit input into a field on a form who underlying table field format is a number field formatted "general number" and field size is "double" - I only want the user to be able to enter a max of 2 digits in the field, can this be done?? You can put a validation rule in the table field of; Between 1 And 99 If you want to allow null in the field then it would be; IsNull Or Between 1 And 99  Signature_________ Sean Bailey > I'm trying to limit input into a field on a form who underlying table field > format is a number field formatted "general number" and field size is > "double" - I only want the user to be able to enter a max of 2 digits in the > field, can this be done?? >I'm trying to limit input into a field on a form who underlying table field >format is a number field formatted "general number" and field size is >"double" - I only want the user to be able to enter a max of 2 digits in the >field, can this be done?? Ummmm... why pick a datatype which allows 14 digits of precision and a range from 10^-300 to 10^300 - if all you want is a two digit integer!? You can use an Input Mask of "90" to force entry of one or two digits; or use the BeforeUpdate event of the field to check the entry for allowed values and cancel the update if it's out of range.
