I have form with several unbound textbox controls. I wish to limit the
number of characters in one control and specify an exact number of characters
in another.
I can not figure out the method to create this type of validation.
Help please.

Thank you
Marsh

There are a couple of ways to do this. One would be to use the Before Update
event of the control to validate the length. Another would be to use the
control's Change event to check the length after each keystroke.
