Counting Characters Used in Microsoft Access forms, Database Solutions for Microsoft Access

Counting Used Characters in a Microsoft Access Text Field: You should be aware that, when in Microsoft Access, that a text field will hold a maximum of 255 characters. If you require more characters then you should be using the memo type data field. There may be the time where you want to restrict your users to using only a certain amount of characters when using a text field. You can set the field size when designing the table and limit the amount of characters allowed, however it would be nice to inform the user of how many characters they have used when they are entering data. The following example shows how to display the amount of characters used whilst the user is entering the data.
