Input mask, uber problem!

Ok, i have formatted a time date field to short time, but i only want access
to display the hours part, e.g. 2 or 3 hours. As i cant format access fields
into an hour format, i want to create an input mask, or some validation to
only allow the user to enter the 1, 2, or 3 hours

The 3 hours is then added to a start time to create an end time

Any help would be wonderful!!!!!!

Hello.

Perhaps what you could do is NOT use a Date/Time
field. Just use a Long Integer field and set the Validation
rule to: Between 1 And 3. The validation text can read:
Please enter a number between 1 and 3.
That way your covered.

Now, in the AfterUpdate property of the field on your
form, enter the following code:

Dim FirstDate As Date
Dim IntervalType As String
Dim Number As Integer

IntervalType = "h" ' "h" specifies hours as interval.
FirstDate = txtStartTime.Value
Number = txtHours.Value

txtEndTime.Value = DateAdd(IntervalType, Number, FirstDate)

That should do it. You can find more information by looking for
the "DateAdd" function.

Have a good day.

Regards
