Topic #: 6
[All ADX-201 Questions]

An administrator has been asked to change the data type of an auto number to text field.

What should the administrator be aware of before changing the field?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

A validation rule is a feature that allows administrators to define criteria for data entry or import operations and display an error message when those criteria are not met. For example, a validation rule can ensure that house showings are scheduled within the current year by comparing the showing date field with a formula that returns the current year. If the showing date field contains a date outside of the current year, then the validation rule will prevent users from saving or importing records with an error message.

Hey, maybe the admin can just rename the field to 'Text-Number' and call it a day!

Seriously, who would even think of changing an auto-number to a text field? That's just asking for trouble.

Converting an auto-number to text? That's like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole!

I agree with Michel. The existing field values should not be deleted if the administrator changes the data type.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'd better be careful not to delete all my data accidentally!
