There are NO validation rules in the form, table or table columns and none set in the code. The Notes field has a Lost Focus event that converts the field to upper-case.The user did add a lot of text to the Notes field and this table has 43 columns (8 of them memos). Access 2003.

It supports check constraints.-Tom. Microsoft Access MVP Thursday, January 19, 2012 1:29 PM Reply | Quote 0 Sign in to vote No, no SQL Server involved. The only thing I can think of is that many columns have 'allow zero length' = No. Do you think this may cause the problem? Wednesday, January 25, 2012 7:50 PM Reply | Quote 0 Sign in to vote I realize that this is an old post but I have been trying to figure out how to get around this issue and (in my case) I know exactly what's causing it. I have a memo field where I have added a table level validation rule that checks to see of the memo field is NULL. This works great as long as I only add 16,384 characters or less to the field. As soon as I add a single additional character it throws this error "Error 'Error evaluating CHECK constraint. ' in the validation rule." I have to believe that this is some internal check that Jet is doing that can only handle a limited number of character when checking for NULL. Something tells me I'm not going to be able to get around

I'm merging two apps into one and in order to prevent redundand data entry, i've got the command button on FormA that opens FormB to automatically populate the data in the matching fields if it's not already there. Any Ideas what this error means? i've never seen it. I've checked the table for requried controls, but there's only one and it's being populated. none of the controls on https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21207314/Error-'Error-Evaluating-CHECK-constraint-'-in-the-validation-rule.html the form have any validation rules and there is no VB on the FormB. thanks, matt 0 Question by:matthackney Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Google LVL 14 Best Solution byRDWaibel At this point, I honestly would like to view the database. You might try creating a new table that is a mirror of the old one and see if you have the same error.

It works fine until i set region to either "pal" ms access or "ntsc", then I get the following error. "Error 'Error evaluating CHECK constraint. ' in the validation rule." I set up the constraint by going to table design view -> indexes -> created new index with each of the three fields listed one after another -> set to primary=no, unique=yes, ignore nulls=no. Can anyone help me work out why im getting this problem?

What data type is your region field? Mind, you, since the combination of 'tape' and a region number is invalid, I would have set it us a different way. Create a table with an autonumber PK, a field for tape or dvd and a field for region. Populate this table with the valid combinations, there's only 12 possible, and let the user select the valid one from a combo box. Store the ID in your main table . __________________ You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you may just get what you need - Rolling Stones Cheers, Neil neileg View Public Profile Find More Posts by neileg 03-14-2005, 08:47 AM #3 Chunk Registered User Join Date: Oct 2004 Posts: 64 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts The data type is text, its too late to change the way it is set up.
