Question

Maintaining MS Access field formats and masks.

Asked by: joedunn

I have created a table with MS Access 2000 with each field having various masks and lists specific to that field.  How do I get UltraDev4 to maintain those rules on the web page side of things?  When I get the database connected and creat the form insertion portion of the page, UltraDev creates a simple form with basic text fields.  These field, however, have no rules.  What I mean a field that says price and is obviously a number you can type text.  The date field can be anything you want and the Auto Number field is left blank.

Any help would be appreciated.  If this is posted in the wrong area I would appreciate being pointed in the right direction.

Oh well, there's no so called mask for input fields in UltraDev, what you can do is to use Javascript to validate all of the fields before user submit the form.
For example, check the price field and make sure user enter number only. I hope this will help, if you need help in javascript code, let me know.

Happy programming!
Sherly

Yes, Sherly is right, there is no validation checking in UltraDev but itsself taking from Ms Access, u have to 2 do validations by urself based on ur requirement using Javascript.  If u need any help in javascript validations code, let me know, I will try to provide u the required code.

Good Luck...:)

You can use activex controls if you want, but you need to be able to distribute them if you are going to make this an Internet application. This is doable, but can get tricky.

One example is the microsoft date picker activex control. Also microsoft forms 2.0 controls should be filterable

You can then link up the controls to your save code

Otherwise, you can validate on the blur event for the control

Good luck

Greg
