Validation

Hi guys

I have 2 problems, one very simple, one tedious

prob 1: I have a textbox in vb, i want to place validation on it so that when i hit the submit button it will detect whether the user has entered a valid username. A valid username is only comprised of letters. So i need the username to only accept letters. In access u can do this easily. im not sure how to in vb.


prob 2: I have a textbox where i want the text in the data to be stored to textfile by using the show save thing..


Thanks!!

Could you be a little more vague?

For the first, you can use one of the textbox events like LostFocus or the validate event to verify the data is formatted the way you want.

umm so how do i do that? for prob 1 i need only to be able to enter letters..

VB6? You could start here

If all you want is to force the use of letters only. Use a "Micorsoft Masked Edit Control". It allows you to set up input masks, like you can in Access. It is a component that you need to add to your project.





I agree with Doug G "Could you be a little more vague?"
