Is it possible to limit the number of charaters in a memo field.

Hi logopolis,

You can set a validation rule for the field, say ..

[blue][tt]Len([YourMemoField])<1000[/tt][/blue]

.. to limit it to a maximum of 999 characters.

Enjoy,
Tony

Thanks for that. Would you enter that in the Table or the form
 
Hi logopolis,

Either. But if you set it in the Table's Field Properties, any Form based on it will inherit the rule.

Enjoy,
Tony
