fields format at design time ??
Hi all :
when Creating anew database, table,fields ... i know that i can assign a fromat for my field's in the table.
the first Field is a "0000000" format , seven digit number .
the second is a "000" format , Three digit number.
the third one is a "hh:mm:ss AM/PM" a Time format Field .
how to do this by code , i've heard that it's something related with the Field Attribut's , but how to set these atributes at design time .
by the way , when <data entry> , i'm solving this problem it's ok for me , but when the user makes any changes in this table i want him to be restrected with the format i specify , and that is done by setting the format at design time for the field's as i expect ...
many thanxxx for ALL...

What's the database?
You want to do this user data entry from VB or your back-end, I hope its Access.
kenmostafa:
In a VB Project, on a form, click the control they will be entering data into (i.e. textbox), look in the properties window and set the format in the property called DataFormat. This is for data-entry on a VB form.

hi all :
sorry for lating , but there's a couple of things that i have to get clear :
1 - i'm connecting with Access2000
2 - first the data entry trick is solved and no problem
so no way for entering wrong formatted data in the text
box's .
3 - now , i'm giving the user permision to change entries
through a Dbgrid control , so here i want to restrect
the user Entry , as i explained befor to fit the format
that i wanted , if not , an error message must pop up
i think its clear now for all , and many thanxxx for replying !!

Hi all :
i've solved the problem by my self...
i've tried the following , to test the user's entry :
Private Sub DBGrid1_BeforeColUpdate(By
select case colindex
case 1 ' this is a "000" format Field
if (entered) <> (what i want) then
msgbox "Error"
dbgrid1.text = oldvalue
exit sub
and so on for the rest of the fields
End Sub
