field length...

[usurbang]

Is there a way to limit a field to being only X characters in length?

Thanks for your help!

If you are using 5.5 or above (I'm uncertain if 5.0 has it), under the Validation tab in Field Definitions is an option to specify the maximum number of characters.

In any version you can validate by a calculation that includes the Length() function.
