number of characters in field

[anamque]

I have a template where I didn't specify a pattern it needs to meet, or i
didn't limit the number of characters within the field, but it will only let
me enter a specific amount of characters - i need it to allow entry of 20
characters at the most (but stopping at 9) with no formatting.

Ex: This is how it does it now:

4,564,123

I need to do:

4567123456781234

I don't understand you question

So you don't have formatting and still infopath is blocking entering
more then 9 characters ?

Please have a look ath the following posts to debug InfoPath Forms
http://blueinfopath.wordpress.com/2008/10/20/debug-tip-for-infopath-forms/

Do a search for the control and see if their is no formatting or rules
or code at all!

Also have a quick look at the properties of the field in the data
source, not in the properties of the control binded to the field
(These are different properties)
1. Go To Datasource
2. Select Field, right-click select Properties
3. Check Validation and Rules
