imputmask problem

[Jean-Paul De WInter]

Hi,
I want the contents of an entryfield to be limited to decimal numbers...
Things like 24,5 or 5 or 6,5 should be OK
I don't know how to create the imputmask.
I wrote 9,9 but when I enter 5 I see 5,
and this way I can not enter 15,5....

Who can help
Thanks
JP

Hi Jean-Paul

Leave the InputMask blank and set the Format property of the textbox to
"General Number". This will allow only numeric input, but the number will
be formatted in the most "convenient" way, so integers will have no decimal
places.

Hi Graham...
Thanks for your answer... alas, since I have a Dutch Acces version (2003) I
don't know where to fine this "Format property" could you please "navigate"
me??, (what number of tab, what item??)
Thanks again
Another question...
I see you are from New Zeeland.
My 18 years old son comes to Tauranga next year and will stay there with his
host family for one year.
I would like to ask some practical questions about your country so please
can I send them through private e-mailing??
Thanks (again and again)

Hi Jean-Paul

Format is the 3rd property from the top on the "All" tab. (InputMask is the
5th.) I'm sorry - I don't know what the the Dutch equivalents are. Also,
there will be a Dutch equivalent for "General Number". I don't kwow what it
is, but it will be the one with an example format: 3456,789.

You are welcome to send me questions about New Zealand for your son, and I
will answer them to the best of my ability. Email me at:
