walkerjk Posted June 13, 2001 Posted June 13, 2001 I have a field that needs to contain 22 characters, no more, no less. How do I do this? Thanks in advance.
Chuck Posted June 13, 2001 Posted June 13, 2001 Turn validation on for the field and use a calculation: Length( Your_Field ) = 22 You can also make this strict, which means the user can't override this, and you can show a custom dialog box when the validation fails. Chuck
Moon Posted June 13, 2001 Posted June 13, 2001 Filemaker 5.5 has added a validation entry that permits you to set the max characters without a calculation. I do not think it cares if you have LESS than the max, though, and Chuck's solution will work irrespective of version.
