validating data for 2 field at the same time

Hi All,
It is possible to restrict data entry for 2 fields at the same time?,
i know how this may sound for you, please don't insult me (just
kidding, this is a great newsgroup). In my first Access database I
just found a big design mistake. There is a table - tblsystem- with 2
fields -upperprinter and lowerprinter- this 2 fields contains the same
type of data, they store the printers serial numbers. Now I found
duplicate entries for the printers, meaning a printer can only belong
to a system but a system has 2 printers, even when I set the no
duplicates property for each of these fields at the table design
level, a printer serial number may be the unique entry for the upper
printer and this same serial number may be the unique entry for the
lower printer, causing the same printer appear in 2 different systems
at the same time. Before I go and change the design, I would like to
quick fix it by creating a rule when data is entered in any of these
fields to check is the serial number already exist in the table-
upperprinter or lowerprinter fields - and not allow the entry if a
system already had the serial number in the upperprinter or lower
printer field.

I will appreciate any help. Thank so much.

It's good practice to validate input, not only where it should be coming from, but from anywhere it's possible to change or add input for a "client". If all user input is transfered using "post" you can be pretty tough on querystrings, if you use them at all. But user input could have a name like Mc'Donald, and we would not like quotes (wether single or double) in input to a database or an asp script. Though I beleive more dangerous in...

I am experiencing some strange behavior between a UserControl's validating event and a treeview control. Initially, I thought it was related to an issue in the Knowledgebase article 810852 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/810852), but then I realized that the hotfix mentioned was in .Net v1.1, which I am using. I took the sample from that article and recreated the situation I see in my application. (Code included below.) If you run the...

I'm validating a date and time string which must be EXACTLY of the format yy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss and extracting the six numeric values using sscanf. I'm using the format string "%2u-%2u-%2u %2u:%2u:%2u" which works, but it allows each numeric field to be either 1 or 2 digits in length. Also the man page for sscanf says that preceeding white space before a numeric is ignored.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
