Enter data in specific field first

3 New Member
Can I have a criteria where, when I add new records only, that data must be entered in field A before data is entered in Field B?

So if a user goes to field B and starts entering data before data has been entered in field A an error message pops up telling him/her to enter data in Field A first. Is this possible and is this bad design?

Thank you for your time.

You have to change the tab sequence depending on your condition. Check out Tab sequences.

Totally hacked off here. I've written a user control that contains a text box, a required field validator and a button (these being the cornerstone of a search facility), all as ASP.Net server controls. The user clicks the button, and server-side code does a redirect to a search page, appending the search expression to the URL. Great, I thought, let's move on. I then wrote an mailing list page which included the aforementioned user...

In a regular html form, when user press "enter" key, the form will be submitted. However, in ASP.NET web form, a form will only be submitted (post back) when a special button is clicked. Many user get used to click "enter" key to submit a form. How can I use "enter" key to submit/postback in ASP.NET. Thank, Guoqi Zheng

Hi: I'm running a simple query on an Access Table from VB6.0. The operator can make several different selections. Based on their selection, a different, specific SQL needs to be run. So, when the operator says...

Suppose the field length is 25 characters. After entering the 25th character, it should be available to process. Program should not wait for the user to press enter/return key. Thank you.

Let's pretend I'm creating an Employee class, which I will later subclass for more specific jobs. Each instance will have stuff like a name, title, degrees held, etc. etc. So I'm wondering, is the best way to get all this information into the object to just have a really long __init__ method that takes each argument? Does a question like this depend on how the class will be used? I'm trying to construct it in a way that is independent...

I have a data entry application. Due to ease and location, the users utilizie the enter key to move from field to field, rather than the tab key. Depending on the data they enter into a field, they may skip fields in the "tab order" so I do not simply use process tab key. Application works fine except for an oddity. There is a button on the form. If the user hits enter to arrive on the button, then swaps (via MDI) to another form,...

Who knows how to prevent submitting a form on the press Enter button before all fields on the form are filled up. People just enter the first field hit Enter and it submits the form and doing validation, of course flushing with the bunch of messages because rest of the fields are empty. I remember I had some pages where wrote the code to go on the next field when pressed the Enter button (Tab like), because it didn't go anywhere at all....

I am using Access 2003. Does anyone know a way creating a field in a form that you can only accept data from a list to enter into it, but you can enter multiple entrees in the same field? For Example, I would click on the field and a list or 20 terms would come up. Then I click on a term and enter it into the field (like a combo box) but I can then click on the field again and enter a second term into my field with out deleting my first one. ...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...
