I need to set up a memo field in an Access database but within the form that the user is entering text, how do I limit them to oh... lets say 1000 words? I know I can set up a Text Box and limit that via the database to 250ish characters, but I do not know how to set up a memo field, yet limit them to about 1000 words (not characters).
Any ideas?
Please let me know.
Thank you

In Codecharge, without Custom Code, only limit by characters.
On Validade from Textarea. Action: Validate Maximum Length.

Gary,
I'm sure you can find various solutions on Google: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=javas...+words+textarea

Gary,
Take both answers in to account, and with that:
count the number of spaces!
1000 words = 1001 spaces
If you find more thatn say 1000 spaces, display and limit entry.
Just a quick brainer
