Message related to input mask

by - trainer Amanda diamond contributer[1205 posts] (2007 Aug 7 Tue, 12:31) replyReply

Hi

Can you set a message to appear to help a user to enter data in the correct format when an input mask is set? The warning that comes up by default is not very user-friendly.

cheers
Amanda

Amanda,

You can use DATA VALIDATION in conjunction with an INPUT MASK to create a custom message for the user.
Input masks simply limit the data entry to a specific format, wheras data validation will evaluate and promt for a new answer.

Used together you can restrict almost any incomming data to the format you like. Great for keeping data integrity (ie: all data is correct, not corrupt).

Regards

Richard
