Count the number of characters in a textbox?

[Blaster]

how do you do it?
count how many characters you typed

[gaffa]

Len(Text1.Text) will return the number of characters in a textbox (or a string if you use Len(strTemp)

[Smithy]

Use the Len function in VB

Dim lngNum as Long
lngNum = Len(Text1.text)

msgBox lngNum & " Chars have been entered in this box"

Hope this helps.
