Validation

Hi.

In Microsoft 2003 and other versions is it possible to validate a postcode and do you have any tips on validating a postcode within Microsoft Access.

RE: Validation

Hi Dave

It is possible to validate a post code within Microsoft Access, however it is a fairly complex task due to all the different post code formats. I would advise starting with a fairly simple validation first and then improve it as you learn.

Hope this helps
David
