I want to limit the number of characters a user can type into a memo field to 500.
The validation rule is set to Len([output1])<500 with an appropriate validation text set.
When the validation rule is breached pop up message box only appears after the user tries to move to another field.
Is there a way of getting the message to display immediately the limit has been reached, or stopping further entry of text?
