Tasks   3.      Draw and complete validation tables for each of the entities containing:

Validation Data type Field length Format (Input mask) Range (Validation rule) Lookup (foreign keys or select from list)

Format usually via an Input mask e.g. LL99LLL for car registration L = letter 9 = digit A = letter or digit …… see the Input Mask sheet on the website for more sometimes a validation rule is used in a combination: Left([TelephoneNumber],1)=0 checks that ……???

Range usually via a Validation Rule DateDiff(“yyyy",[DOB],Date()) > =21 checks that person is over 21 [DOB] is the date of birth field Date() refers to today’s date
