Dear Shankar,
Unbound text box: limiting entry length
Access automatically prevents you entering too much text if a control is
bound to a field. Unbound controls can be limited with the *Input Mask *-
one "C" for each possible character. However, the input mask has side
effects such as *appending underscores* to the Text property and
making it *difficult
to insert* text into the middle of an entry.
For a cleaner result, use a combination of the control's *KeyPress* and *
Change* events.
Here's how.
1. *Paste* the two "subs" from the end of this article into a module.
Save.
2. *Call LimitKeyPress() in* your text box's *KeyPress* event. For
example, to limit a control named "City" to 40 characters, its KeyPress
event procedure is:
Call LimitKeyPress(Me.City, 40, KeyAscii)
3. *Call LimitChange() in* your text box's *Change* event. For the same
example, the Change event procedure is:
Call LimitChange(Me.City, 40)
4. *Repeat* steps 2 and 3 for other unbound text/combo boxes in your
application.
