    fieldsize

    I want to be able to set a lower and an upper limit when entering characters for a text field. The one field property I can think of is 'fieldsize' but this just sets the upper limit.

    If, say, I have a destination code and I want to make sure it has between 3 and 6 characters, how do I make this happen? I've thought of a validation rule but this pertains solely to the content of the field, right?



    Thanks
