This lesson shows how to add "Field Validation Masks" checking of data contained within fields in the Passy's Bargain Barn Business Solution.
Validations help improve the accuracy of data entered into the system, mainly by making sure that typing mistakes do not slip through undetected.
Input Masks can be used to restrict the type of characters which can be typed into each position within a given field.
Regular "Field Validations" are not covered in this lesson, and are part of a separate lesson dedicated entirely to Number Range Checking, Date Checking, Required Fields, Protected Fields, and so on.
This lesson contains detailed step by step instructions on how to add Validation Checking onto Fields in the Passy's Bargain Barn Business Solution.
The Step by Step Guide which is available below for this lesson shows exactly what needs to be done.
Watch the following YouTube Video Tutorial about Input Mask Validations.
We recommend you use the SUMMARY GUIDE
to follow along step by step with the Tutorial Video.
The YouTube Video is free to watch as many times as you want, and the Finished Database including the PDF Summary Guide, and Excel Tables Design are available at a small cost which can be paid for and downloaded using PayPal.
Our Access Learning Modules are designed for complete beginners, and they have been extensively trialled with High School students learning Access for the first time. They have a proven track record of being able to get everyone up and running with Microsoft Access - the world's most popular Relational Database for Education and Small Business.
We highly recommend using the Step by Step Summary Guide as well as the other support materials to maximise learning outcomes.
Our students have found the Summary Guide to be far more useful than re-watching the Video, when it comes time for them to apply their newly aquired Access skills to Database Build tasks.

One known issue is that if you PayPal buy using Mircosoft Edge, it often displays prices with A's around them like: A$2.50A.
The Edge purchase will work okay, but it is probably best to do Pay Pal purchases using Google Chrome as your browser.
