Setting Field limits

I have created my first database of any size. With your help and VTC online university it worked with only minor glitches.

I have run into a basic problem however. How do I set character limits on fields. Did not have time to work on this before it was used the first time so I used a character count. People went beyond this count. I can figure out part of this, the count, but how do I get the entry to stop. I hope this is clear.

Thank You in Advance

Set the maximum field length in the field definition.

Select the field, click Options, Validation and set "Maximum number of characters".

This does not, however, stop the typist at Set # of characters. It just informs them that they have entered too many characters. Can I stop their typing at # of characters?

Thanks

I think this is something that all of us would like, but no joy.

Maybe there's a plug-in somewhere ?
