Hi

I am trying to display the no of characters in a text field while user is
typing them. I am using the onchange event as follows;

Private Sub mytextfield_Change()
Me.chars = Str(Len(Me.mytextfield)) & " Characters"
End Sub

However it does not work as the field is actually not committed at this
stage. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks

Regards

Without actually testing, I'd guess that your code would work if you
modified it to check the text box's Text property, instead of its Value
property:

Me.chars = Str(Len(Me.mytextfield.Text)) & " Characters"
