ValidateOnSet Property
Sets or returns a value that specifies whether or not the value of a Field object is immediately validated when the object's Value property is set (Microsoft Jet workspaces only).
Settings and Return Values
The setting or return value is a Boolean that can be one of the following values.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| True | The validation rule specified by the ValidationRule property setting of the Field object is checked when you set the object's Value property. |
| False | (Default) Validate when the record is updated. |
Only Field objects in Recordset objects support the ValidateOnSet property as read/write.
Remarks
Setting the ValidateOnSet property to True can be useful in a situation when a user is entering records that include substantial Memo data. Waiting until the Update call to validate the data can result in unnecessary time spent writing the lengthy Memo data to the database if it turns out that the data was invalid anyway because a validation rule was broken in another field.
