Prohibiting entry of special characters in a field

[Evan M]

Hello,

I need to restrict the values entered into a text box to only A-Z and 0-9.
Basically, I don't want the user to enter any special characters as they
tend to confuse the other users. If anyone has any advice, it would be
greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Use a validation rule of

NOT LIKE [!0-9!A-Z]

Set the text box's Validation Rule property to:

Not Like "*[!A-Z0-9]*"
