Validation Rule (possibly regex)
Hi,
Can validaiton rules use regex (which i know quite well) or do i have to use the MS expression building thing which baffles me?
I need to validate so that a field can contain either
[a-z][A-Z].-
Like in names Dr. Mary-Jane smith
Can anyone help me out?

Re: Validation Rule (possibly regex)
there is an example here http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=591819
using regular expressions
i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next
dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part
come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed

Re: Validation Rule (possibly regex)
Do you know how i could do it through the Design View window for a table where i enter the Validation Rule? Just using the standard access expression builder?
