I am trying to figure out how to restrict a field to a set amount of characters. I tried using the maximum number of character restriction but it still allows you to type more than I set, but it will not let you continue. I want the field not to let the user type more than the assign characters. Can anyone help

:D

Well, in FM10 you can easily accomplish this with a script trigger technique.

I cannot think of a way to check entry as a user types prior to FM10.

Upgrade to 10 so that you can use script triggers. Otherwise, you will have to stick with a post validation.

* Edit - Sorry didnt see Barbara's post.
