October 8, 200124 yr How can I define the number of text characters that can be entered into a defined area?
October 9, 200124 yr What is a "defined area"? If your question is how to limit the number of characters the user is allow to enter into a field, you can set field validation to "Length(YourFieldName)<10" or whatever your length limit is. -bd
October 17, 200124 yr Author Unfortunately I am not getting what I want. I want to limit the amount of text I can put in the field. Field Validation is allowing me to enter more info that I want to allow, and then it post a message and lets me click OK or Revert. If I click OK it leaves me where I was and If I click revert it erases everything. I want to alert people when they have reached the total text the field will allow and not let them enter anymore. Is this possible? RED
