Hello
On a form I have a Word Count button for the user to click to get the number of words they are using in a memo/long text field,. We need to put a word limit because they do waffle on a bit but I understand that when using Long Text field you can't put a limit. We can't use the Text field because it has only 255 characters which is too short.
So we're instructing the users to limit their comments to 285 words.
Is there a way to have an alert pop up to warn the user that they have exceeded 285 words? That would be sooooo good!
Failing that, is there a query we can run that will help the administrator to identify those who have gone over the 285 words so that they can tell the individuals to shorten their comments?
Thank you
