Controlling Decimal Precision at Time of Data Entry?

[Guest]

Greetings,

I have created a form to collect two numeric values for "TestStartTime" and
"TestFinishTime". The precision for both of these values is one space to the
right of the decimal (tenths) place.

What I would like to know is; How (OR Where?) can I perform a Round([""],1)
operation on the form at the time of data entry, to prevent data with a
higher precision (ie. entered incorrectly) from making it through my form
controls?

In the DB table, both of these fields are set up as number 'data types' and
single 'subtypes', with format = 'fixed' and decimal places = '1'. Also, in
the form design, format = 'fixed' and decimal places = '1'. This has not
solved my problem; Only altered the way that the value is displayed...

Any suggestions are always appreciated.

Use an InputMask.

You can use each text box's AfterUpdate event with code
like:
Me.TestStartTime = Round(Me.TestStartTime, 1)

I thank you both, Rick and Marshall, for your suggestions.

I had some trouble getting the Input Mask wizard to run on a 'number' field
type, so I chose to use Marshall's code to perform the rounding.

I copied the code directly into the fields AfterUpdate event. It does
exactly what I wanted it to do. The only thing I had to modify was the field
names.

Thanks for the help...
