Getting properties

[ncvdac]

I have a form created using word.

I created several fields and put in a maximum length in the properties box.

Can I get that maximum length using a macro?

I need to ensure the fields are a certain length and need to pad with spaces to fill out the field.

Thanks,

Dan

Not sure if this is what you're trying to do, but if you want to check the length of the user input, use: LEN(expression)

I know how to get the length of the user input. What I need is the maximum number of characters allowed in a bookmark. For example, If the user types CAT, I know it is 3. If the bookmark has a max lenth of 8, I need to get that I need to pad the entry with 5 spaces. I do not know how to programatically get the 8. I could hard code, but I have over 600 templates to write this macro for and each has a different fields and field lengths.
