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.

Field validation is the process of checking and ensuring that data entered into a form field meets specified requirements or constraints. This helps to maintain data accuracy and prevent errors by validating input such as format, length, and range. Field validation can provide immediate feedback to users if their input is incorrect or incomplete, improving the overall user experience.
The most common type of attack attributed to programming errors is the SQL Injection attack. This occurs when an application improperly sanitizes user inputs, allowing attackers to manipulate SQL queries and gain unauthorized access to the database. Such vulnerabilities often arise from a lack of proper input validation and inadequate security measures in web applications. Consequently, SQL Injection can lead to data breaches, data manipulation, and even complete system compromise.
Range validation is a type of data validation that checks if a value falls within a specific range or set of values. It ensures that data input is within acceptable boundaries, preventing invalid or out-of-range values from being processed. Range validation helps maintain data integrity and accuracy in systems and applications.
It is important to be as accurate as possible in entering the data. Anything that can be done to help that is beneficial. So being able to validate what is entered is important. The amount of errors made can be reduced. So validation is supplied in spreadsheets to assist that process.
An input mask refers to controlling the input that a user is going to provide.For example, if you were going to ask for a person's phone number, and you know the format of the phone number is going to be (xxx) xxx-xxxx, then you would set an input mask forcing the input to be in that format.A zip code, for example, is 5 or 9 characters in the U.S..... either 12345 or 12345-6789.Therefore, you would use an input mask that looked like xxxxx | xxxxx-xxxxThis controls the user's input so that less validation is required later.Input masks are mostly used to validate input that has a strict pattern that never changes. With Access validation rules you can validate more complex patterns.
SQL injection attacks are more prone to extracting privacy data elements out of a database. Attackers can manipulate input fields on a website to gain unauthorized access to a database, potentially exposing sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, or credit card details. Implementing proper input validation and parameterized queries can help mitigate the risk of SQL injection attacks.
