Rookie Question - Need to assign LEN to an object.. 1

[1Data]

I need to assign a length of an Text box to an object for validation purposes. I know this is not that hard but I have had a long weekend and can't think today...thanks for any suggestions...

dim intcheck

If Form.purchaseprice1.value = "" then
'Elseif Form.purchaseprice1.value
MsgBox "Please Enter a valid Purchase Price. No $ or - (XXXX.XX)"
Form.purchaseprice1.focus()
Exit Sub
Else Len(Form.purchaseprice1.value) > 11
document.write Len(Form.purchaseprice1.value)
intcheck = = Len(Form.purchaseprice1.value)
'MsgBox "Please Enter a valid Purchase Price. Can only be 11 numbered digits long."
Form.purchaseprice1.focus()
Exit Sub

This is what I have so far...again thanks

First I would put a max length on the text box. You can use a regular expression validator to verify the format or range validator to designate the range allowed.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Thanks - Jennifer

Jennifer can you post an short example on how to do that with ASP..thanks..

To set the MaxLength use:

TextBox1.MaxLength = 10

As for the actual data, you could use a Regular Expression (as already suggested) or use a RangeValidator control.
