Hi,
I have a problem with one of my form. I want to record some data in a table by using a form. One of those data it is the time and I want to use an input mask to be sure that everyone will enter the data in the same way. There is my problem:
After the first digit I'm entering in the field, the message error "The value you entered isn't appropriate for the input mask '99:00\ >LL;0;_' specified for this field" appears. I'm pressing "OK" and the same error appear immediately. I'm pressing "OK" a second time and everything works well after that, I can continu to fill my field. So I don't understand why I cannot complete the field before the error appears and why it appears twice.
If someone can help me, it will be appreciate.
Thank you

What Input Mask are you using (Exactly)?
I used '99:00\ >LL;0;_' and it worked perfectly for me (I did have to position the cursor to the left first).
PS. You don't say what data you attempted to input. Mine was 1111am (11:11 AM was shown).
I did the same as you, NeoPa, with the same results. In point of fact, if an incorrect character was entered, such as an alpha character in the first position instead of a numeric character, what should have occured would be that no character would appear and, depending on your system settings, a warning beep or some such would sound. The warning message should only come up when you exit the textbox. Which makes me think about corruption. I'd delete then recreate the textbox.

Hi Guys
Thanks for your answers...
I deleted the text box to check for corruption and my problem is still there.
I'm tring to enter the same type of data than you NeoPa, medium time. But after 1 digit, numeric one, the error message appear even if I don't exit the textbox. It's like if I have an event to refresh my data every time I write something. But I removed all filter and sort, check all event (nothing), and I still have the problem. Maybe this can help you too... Sometime, but not every time, after I exit my first textbox, the row of this data move up, but not my cursor, so if I write data in the second textbox, I overwrite on my last data row. Not sure if is clear...
ID Time Moisture
48 2:05 am 9.52
49 2:16 am 10.47
50 2:28 am 9.01
*
If I'm entering a new data (ID 51), when I exit the first textbox, than happen:
ID Time Moisture
48 2:05 am 9.52
51
49 2:16 am 10.47
50 |2:28 am 9.01
*
my cursor appers on second textbox of last row (ID 50)
I hope this could help you to help me...
Thanks and have a nice day

I'm working on a subform where users put in 24-hour time. On their
paper forms, they've been accustomed to referring to midnight as
24:00 (instead of as 0:00, which kind of makes sense from a human
point of view, though it's still wrong, as it puts midnight as the
end of the previous day instead of the beginning of the next, but it
avoids the zero time problem). I have an input mask to put the : in
the time, but when you input 24:00, it...

When I want the first character of a field to be Uppercased, I need to
make an input mask, like >L< followed by ??????? for example. But this
mask creates ____ in an unfilled field, which I don't like. How to get
the fist character uppercased without an input mask or without ____
(underscores).
When I click with the mouse on an empty field, it won't go to the far
left side, cause of the input mask. How to avoid it?

I'm a total Access newbie, please bear with me! Using Win2K/Access 2003.

According to Microsoft, there is no native way of converting an IP address to an integer/long number (which is much more efficient to index and search). After searching, I found a function which is able to take either an IP address or integer and convert it to the other.

Hi,
I created a short date field. The format is dd/mm/yyyy when displayed.
The input mask is set to 99/99/00;0 (default, I didn't type anything).
If I edit an existing date, say change 12/14/2007 to 12/15/2007, I get
an error "the value you entered isn't appropriate for the input mask."
I have to delete the "20" in the year to get it accepted, and then it
puts the 20 right back. (I have the field set to required.)
I changed 99/99/00;0...

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.
