Can you show the number of characters left as the user types into in a text field...(255-x) 1

[Pack10]

I was asked by management on several fields wherethey enter info into a large text field...if I can show how many characters are left sort of
how a text message works on your phone or Twitter. So on a field that is 255 character length, as they type in characters, show what is left of the 255. Is that do-able. Something like the keypress event.

I'd use the Change event and the Text property of the TextBox.

Hope This Helps, PH.
