How to default Contact Zip Code entry to Numeric instead of Alphabetic?

Besides keying in <Alt> <Left-Shift> everytime I want to enter a numeric zip code for a new contact (99.9% of my contact zip codes are purely numeric), is there a configuration option to default Contact Zip Codes to Numeric instead of Alphabetic. I realize RIM's based in Canada, but why default zip code entry to alphabetic?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

No, there is not an option to change that.
Many of the world's nations use alphanumeric postal codes.

Zip code entry truncation

On several on-line browsers (information entry) when I go to enter a 5 digit zip code, the next field truncates the xip code to 4 digits. How can I enter the proper zip code ?

Welcome To Discussions dlotz!
You have posted your inquiry, in the Discussions Forum, that is intended for discourse about the use of Apple Discussions.
You will get more focused attention to your issue, if you select a more appropriate location from this page Discussions Forum Home.
For example,
From the Forum Home Page above, select the Category Mac OS X v10.3 & earlier.
Then choose a Forum, like Using Mac OS X.
Or, Getting Online.
On Forum pages, there is an option to Post New Topic.
But, is it possible that the 5th digit is really there, but is hidden from view by the text field space limitation?
To test that theory, can you copy what is there, and then view it in your Clipboard?
After you post your New Topic, I'll watch for it!

Some websites show my location wrong zip code, how do I change zip code?

At some websites firefox shows me as located at a wrong zip code. Where does it get this information and how do I change it so it comes up with the correct zip code?
Checked these:
http://whatismyipaddress.com/
http://browserspy.dk/geolocation.php
First one is correct & the the 2nd one is NOT....

Which of the locations is wrong on the second (browserspy) link?
The IP based map should show that same location as whatismyipaddress.<br />
The Geolocation Based Map is empty for me (Latitude is undefined; Longitude is undefined) and may only work properly if you use a wireless connection to a known hotspot.

Zip code entry problem

On some websites there is a field requesting a 5 digit zip code. When I type the zip code into the field all 5 digits show--- when I tab to the next field, one of the zip code digits drops out (either first or last) and leaves only 4 digits. The information is returned as incorrect and asks (again) for a 5 digit zip code. What to do ???

I had this problem for a while using Safari to enter ZIP codes into some forms -- but only when the ZIP code started with (at least one) zero. The work-around was to use MS IE for Mac (which I hear is still available, just no longer supported) for those sites. It's probably worth trying FireFox, too.
I don't know whether the real problem is in Safari or in the web sites -- the same version of Safari worked on some sites but not others, so I suspect that the problem lies with the FORM definitions on the affected sites, in which case the real fix would be to convince the site designers to fix their forms.

Zip Code Entry

Using Safari 1.3.1, whenever I type in my Zip Code (1----) in an address field, the "1" disappears prior to submission. This does not occur with Zip Codes beginning with "2" or higher. Any suggestions?

MuffinM:
Check this solution out from Byron in a previous forum - I tried it, and it works!
Big Apple Ikey
I was having this problem, too, but I think I just fixed it.
My ZIP is 19119. I had a ZIP+4 in the "My Card" information in Address Book and was having the same results: enter my 5-digit ZIP into a form and Safari lops off the first "1" leaving just "9119" and an unhappy form.
I removed the +4 information from "My Card," leaving just the 5-digit ZIP code. Forms now accept the full 5-digit ZIP with no lop-off.
I re-entered the +4 and the problem resumed. Took it out again, and the problem ceased.
Give this a try, folks. Let us all know if this works. Then write Apple, because it shouldn't work like that.

How do you sort photo albums in date order instead of alphabetic order?

I am sorry that I ran afoul of the user guidelines, I'll remove the rant if I can. I certainly did not intend my gripe to target the helpful responder. And yes, I did provide the feedback to Apple. I'm just used to such feedback going into a "black hole". Which this almost certainly does because this problem has existed for years (I Googled for an answer first.) However, it should be noted that company's tend to respond to feedback that is very public if they want to keep a good name in the business. The private feedback through the program is like a quiet whisper, only the two parties involved know about it, so there is no real incentive for prompt action.

Zip code Problem (or Frustrated with iTunes "Support")

I have been having a new problem (with an old credit card) on iTunes, where I get the repetitive error that the zip code I've entered does not match the one the bank has for the card. I have ensured that the zip code is correct and checked the bank zip code to make sure that that was done. I have made many, many iTunes purchases with this card, and not had a problem with the zip code previously, and I have not moved or changed the zip code since the last time I tried to make an iTunes purchase. It's not like the zip code would change itself. But I checked to make sure, anyway. I also contacted my bank to ensure there wasn't a hold on that particular card.
This I did before I contacted itunes support. An email to iTunes support explaining the above and specifically stating that the zip code in itunes for that card is correct, and 2 days later, I get a reply instructing me on how to change the zip code for the card in iTunes. I wonder if Apple has any idea how condescending that comes across. Who would waste their time with tech support for an error like that if their zip code was incorrect?
Now, I've recieved 2 more emails on the same track, basically telling me to fix the zip code. I am 100% sure that the zip code in iTunes is correct. I tried to tell the tech "support" person (Johan) this, but he has essentially only told me repeatedly how to fix the zip code on iTunes. (Again, Apple, if you're reading this, that is really rude and condescending, assuming your users are THAT stupid).
Has anybody ever had this error before, and does anybody have a fix for it?
Thank you,
Katy

I get the repetitive error that the zip code I've entered does not match the one the bank has for the card
Since you are seeing the same dialog repeatedly, try this.
Launch iTunes on your Mac.
From the iTunes menu bar click iTunes / Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Click: Reset warnings and Reset cache
Click OK
Restart your Mac, launch iTunes. See if you can download a free app. Regardless of whether or not it's free or purchased, you'll still see the login window.

Say from spro->general settings -> set countries -> insert regions , the new entries for a region of a country is possible , but we have to enter one by one.
Is there any other way to insert all the regions of a country all at once ? how to insert the zip codes of a country ?

Problem attempting to validate a simple zip code

Surely I'm missing something obvious but I've defined the validation pattern 'text{99999-9999} | text{99999}' on a text field for zip code entry. If I enter '12345' it works OK but '12345-1234' generates a validation error.
I'm also trying to define a valiation pattern for email addresses such as....
0+'@'0+'.'0+
... and having no luck. It always generates an error.

Rob,
You could try the following JavaScript (which uses a 'regular expression' to define a validation pattern) on the *exit event of your e-mail address field. In this example the email adress 'email' is on the first page of the form which has been named 'Page_01'. The names on your form could well be different.
// Validate the email address.
var e_mail = new RegExp();
// Set the regular expression to look for an email address in general form.
e_mail.compile("^[a-z0-9_\\-\\.]+\\@[a-z0-9_\\-\\.]+\\.[a-z]{2,3}$","i");
// Test the rawValue of the current object to see if it fits the general form of an email address.
if (e_mail.test(email.rawValue) == false)
{xfa.host.messageBox("Please enter a genuine E-mail Adress.","Invalid Information",0);
xfa.host.setFocus("form1.Page_01.email");
Regular expressions can look pretty daunting, but are a very powerful JavaScript feature that can prove to be invaluable for setting up data validation criteria. Any JavaScript (or Jscript) reference book or on-line tutorial will have a section showing you how to build them.
Hope this helps,
John

Org model by State & Zip code - ORGMAN_7 - set default if no entry

Orgman_7 10000164 works well for us. But if no country, state, zip code is found it errors as no org object is found.
How can I set a default org if no country state zip is found?
in CRMC_ORGPROF I set 10000164 as the org model determination rule, then I tried to create a responsibilitiy rule based on document type and added the document type as an attribute in the org model but did not work.
Thanks,
Glenn

Hi Ashish,
    In PPOMA_CRM for the organizational elements that represent our sales offices we maintain the Country, State, & Postal Codes (some have hundreds of entries as some states have multiple sales offices in territory, but a single sales office controls a single postal code).
     A new customer calls our ICWC and we create a new BP, using ORGMAN_7 works well when the state & zip code exist as an attribute. It finds that sales office and sales org it is assigned to.
     If no entry is found, then the ICWC user gets numerous error messages all related to no organization being found. If an order is created it fails to pass to R/3 until we correct the document. Usually done in the GUI as there is no place in the ICWC to update the sales org.
     Basically looking to have a dummy office get found if no entry is found in ORGMAN_7. This would allow the order to pass to R/3 and then we could more easily work entries that his the dummy office (update PPOMA_CRM when a bad zip or state combo is entered.) Sometimes is a typo on the user in creating the BP record.
Thanks,
Glenn

Help! My form which requires email and zip code is arriving without data. How is that possible?

An HTML form design with Dreamweaver CS5 requires the zip code and email to be entered prior to Submitting the form. We tested the form prior to going live and it worked great. The Zip Code and Email are required entries. Today, we received our first completed form from a customer and it worked and looked great. The problem is ... we have also received two forms that are blank. No data results at all; no email or zip code either. I don't know how this can be. The form cannot Submit unless the email and zip code are present.
Suggestions?
This is the webpage that has the form (scroll toward the bottom to view it).

// Where to redirect after form is processed.
$url = 'http://www.catchaghostparanormalequipment.com/confirmation.html';
// Makes all fields required. If set to '1' no field can not be empty. If set to '0' any or all fields can be empty.
$req = '0';
// --------------------------Do not edit below this line--------------------------
$text = "Results from form:\n\n";
$space = ' ';

How do I display an invalid zip code in a summary table

On my airshow website we have a feedback form, one of the questions is the zipcode where the visitor came from. This works fine. The summary results tab includes a lookup for the zipcode where I show the city associated with the zipcode and then how many responses came from that zipcode. This can be seen here http://www.hollisterairshow.com/feedback-results.php?tab=7
In testing, I found that an invalid zipcode is not displayed in the summary table, although it is counted in the total number of responses. I'd like to display the invalid zipcode and leave the City blank, or maybe put "Invalid zip code". The current code is displayed below, it's beyond my ability to figure out how I should change it to display invalid zipcodes and I'd really appreciate some direction on this.
I know I could validate the zipcode on entry but it's quite possible the zipcode table I have is out of date and i can't find a free downloadable list, so I'm thinking anything invalid could cause me to update my table.which is fine.
Thanks for any assistance.
Tony
<div class="TabbedPanelsContent">
<?php
// Make a MySQL Connection
$query = "SELECT feedback.zip, COUNT(feedback.zip), zipcodes.citystate FROM feedback, zipcodes WHERE feedback.zip = zipcodes.zipcode GROUP BY feedback.zip";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
// Print out result
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
echo $row['zip']. " ". $row['COUNT(feedback.zip)']. " ". $row['citystate'];
echo "<br />";
?>
</div>

Use an outer join on the two tables so that results are returned for all feedback rows, instead of just matching rows. The column zipcodes.citystate will be NULL. In your recordset output, you can test for null in the column and populate it with "Invalid Zipcode" if you want.
You'll need to move the join to the FROM clause as I believe that MySQL does not support outer joins in the WHERE clause like most other DBMS's.

How can I keep the leading zero in zip codes from disappearing in Numbers spreadsheet?

I have a spreadsheet with addresses, and the leading 0 of the zip codes (thanks New Jersey) keeps disappearing... How do I correct this?

Penny,
It's easy for 5-digit ZIP codes to use the Number System format. Set to Base 10 and 5 places. Part of the goodness of this approach is that if you have already lost the zeros to the Automatic Format, this will reconstitute them.
ZIP 5 plus 4 codes are not a problem because the dash in the middle causes a default to Text.

How to have ICWeb Identification screen on top left show premise zip code

Previously in one of our training environments anytime a Business Partner and Premise were confirmed the top left hand screen in the ICWeb would show the BP first and last name as well as the premise and the premise zip code. In our production environment the top left hand screen shows everything except for the premise zip code.
Can somebody please explain how this field can pick up on the premise zip code whether it is done through SPRO or coding?
Thanks
Dave

Hi David,
This is proper coding issue. As you want premise zip code to display in the contact information box. If I am not wrong. You can do it in Component CRMCMP_IC_FRAME. In the custom controller there is method SET_CALLER_DISPLAY_BPNAME where you need to get the premise zip code data and concatenate it to caller_display_name variable.
Hope this will solve your issue.
Thanks,
Albert
