LindaG Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 Just searched for two hours. Found too much on this one but nothing exactly saying what I need. We need to count how many letters (plus count spaces) in a letter. The body is one field and we need to know how many 'characters' it contains. There is a word count but no letter count. What a strange thing for filemaker to forget. I tried Count but it produces a 1 when it should produce a 46. filemaker help is ... well ... isn't helpful. I have the feeling I'll kick my own butt when someone points out the obvious but I'm out of energy. Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobWeaver Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 Hello again. You want the Length() function. It counts the number of characters in a field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
