I'm new to VBA and Access. I'd like to validate the input for an email field on a form: i.e. check for '@', only one '@', whitespaces, '.', no special characters, etc.

How is this done? Can Javascript be used? Thanks.

Javascript? Surely you jest? Look in the help file or out on the web for creating input masks in Access forms.
 
Jest, no. :) It's just that there are lots of JS examples on the Web but no VBA examples. Granted they are all for Web page usage. I'm still looking at input masks but it seems this is more complicated than putting dashes in a social security number. Thanks.
