I have several forms that are linked to a memo field in the main table. This is also linked to a report for printing. I have to limit the characters in the memo field so that the text does not go beyond what can be seen on the report. So, i need to know how I can limit the number of characters that can be netered into the memo field to, say 1500, and I need to show a message box when that limit has been reached.
Can anyone tell me how to do this?
