Setting Field Size Limits

[OrWolf]

How can I verify that data entered in a field is not more than the database is set-up for, without making the field required? I want to limit a certain field to 50 characters, but I don't want it to be a required field. I don't see how this is an option using form field validation.

O-

Interesting problem....

You could try these but they may be more of a bandaid fix than the real solution:

Set the length to be 0 for minimum and max length of 50. While it is now required perhaps with the 0 for the minimum it'll help.

Also set the form field length on the actual form to 50.

As I said.... I don't know if a good solution or not but I suppose it might be worth a try.

Best of luck-
