I have a text box in a form so that user can type in a file name and it will rename a file in the Windows (outside Access). I am using Office XP and Windows XP. I want to limit user to type in not more then 40 characters for the file name and the characters used for the file name has to be comply with the Windows file structure;i.e.not allow \ / : * ? " < > and | in the file name. How do I assign this restriction in the input mask of the text box. Thanks.
