Validation Rule in VBA to determine the length of text












0















I have a form for recording the phone numbers which have two kinds:





  • Internal has 4 characters


  • External has 4 or 7 or 8 characters


I want to make the ValidationRule change according to the Combobox that determines the type of phone numbers.



I tried to use ValidationRule in the form properties but it doesn't work with IIf formula or dependening on the value of another textbox or combobox.



So I made this piece of code, but it doesn't work:



If me.combo.value = "internal" then 
Me.field.validationrule = "Len([field]) = 4"
ElseIf Me.combo.value = "external" Then
Me.field.validationrule = "Len([field]) = 4 or Len([field]) = 7 or Len([field]) = 8"
End If


Thanks in advance.

          You don't have to change the validation rule. Try something like this instead:



          ([combo]="internal" And Len([field])=4) Or ([combo]="external" And (Len([field])=4 Or Len([field])=7 Len([field])=8))
