A field refers to data that is entered. Field level validation refers to built in rules for the type / range of data that is allowed to be entered in that field. For example in a typical web registration form, valication for the field "Age" would be: 1. It should be an integer (meaning a whole number) between 0 and 100. It cannot accept alphanumeric characters. 2. It should be entered and cannot be left blank - this is my example. In a different form, it is possible that the site allows age to be left blank. A field such as "Name" may have the following validations: 1. It should not be left blank 2. It should have alphabetic characters without special characters such as *, & etc 3. It should be max 40 characters in length. There could be different types of fields and the possible validations would be different for each. I have given two examples of field level validations. These validations are performed to prevent "incorrect" data from being accepted by a system/web site.

The information entered and how the information is entered is a very dominate role in field/record level validation. However they share the same goal to enforce rules consistently, to write less code.
You can add a validation rule to a field in your table's Design View. Select your field in Design View and look for the Validation Rule field at the bottom of the screen. This is where you can enter a validation rule for your field.
There are basically two levels of data validation in Access. The first level can be specified by the Access developer in the form of validation rules or input masks. The second level is the actual constraints that Access enforces for input into a field. Access will not allow you to add text into a Number field for example.
types of validations are: required field validation range validation pattern matching validation database specific validation numeric validation
Field validation ensures that a program or form is using clean incorrect data. A set of validation rules are used to check data that is entered into a system before it is processed.
The Validation Text in MS Access is the text that is shown when the conditions set by a Validation Rule are not met. In Access you can specify a Validation Text for each field in a table's Design View in the Field Properties panel.
A database is only as useful as the data it contains. Validation helps prevent invalid or inconsistent data from getting stored. At the most elementary level, it could be as simple are requiring a given element to only contain numerical data. More complex validation rules might entail a list of valid values, cross-field edits (if field A contains "xyz", then field B cannot contain "abc") and various more complex rules known as constraints (such as foreign key and NOT NULL rules.)
Validation rules limit what can go into a field. You might want to only allow values that are over 500 in a field, so the validation would be: >500 You might want dates that are before the 1st of January 2010, so that would be like this: <#01/01/2010#
