You could do a loop through the Me.Controls collection, check for type of textbox (or check the name) and then test the length against MaxLength.

(Note, this applies to VB6. I don't know how you access the controls collection in later versions.)

I don't know. Try it, and see what happens.

Here's an example of an if statement which checks the length of a credit card number.

If Len(txtCreditCard.Text) < 16 Then

MsgBox "The Credit Card Number should consist of 16 numeric characters", vbExclamation, "Note"

End If

Use this code to restrict the textbox input size.

 
if len(text1)>6 then
msgbox "More than 6 characters are not allowed"
text1.text=""
text1.setfocus
end if

no when ever the user input more than 6 digits or characters a msg box appers and text1 will empty and get focused

i think this will help you.

GOODLUCK

hi
set the MaxLength property of text box in Properties window at design time.
user wont be able to type more than MaxLength characters.
