Can maxLength be set in , Inputbox ?

[Guest_imported]

hello,

In a regular text box I know we can control the number of digits that can be inputed, by making adjustments in the
property under MaxLength. But my question is, what if I want to use an Inputbox and want to set the max Length.How do I do that?
Example-> Blah=Inputbox("Please enter a numerical digit.&quot
An Input box will pop up and as a user to input
some numerical digits. My question is how do I
set the MaxLength , for example like to only
accept only 3 digits?

maxChars cannot be set with an inputbox.
create your own "InputBox" ie: std Form, textbox, 2 command buttons(OK, Cancel) and show it modal

You could also test the return value, and if it exceeds 3 characters, throw the inputbox back up with a more descriptive message, ie "Please enter a numeric value of up to 3 digits"

Just a thought
