false

A(n) ________ forces users to conform to a specific data entry format for a given field.

input mask

The data validation method that causes fields to be limited to predefined list of values is a:

lookup list.

A(n) ________ accepts two or more options in a lookup field.

multiple-value field

A(n) ________ sets the property of a field to force data entry.

required

A field that cannot be left blank when you create a new record is a:

required field.

A Multivalued Lookup field accepts numerous options instead of just one field choice.

true

A lookup field can be used when there is repetitive data in a field.

true

A parameter query is similar to creating most other query types.

true

A required field indicates that a value for the field must be entered.

true

A required field is one that cannot be left blank when you create a new record.

true

An input mask forces users to conform to a specific data-entry format for a given field.

true

By creating an input mask you can further restrict the data being input into a field by specifying the exact format of the data entry.

true

For phone numbers, the input mask helps ensure consistency in data entry.

true

If you add a validation rule to a table with existing records, some data in those records may violate the rule.

true

If you want to see records with a field within a certain date range, you could use the Between operator.

true
