Stopping Guest Book misuse

[Vicky]

I have a website built with FP2003. It has a guestbook built using the
Database wizard in FP2003 & uses a Access DB.
The submission form has Name, Tel, Address, Email, Url & Message fields.
All the fields in the form & the DB are text field limited to 25 to 255
charaters, but the message field is Memo type.
I have restricted the Message field size thru the form to 400 Character,
this is what I wish to do. But the Access DB message filed being memo allows
65536 characters.
Recently someone has been regularly writing unwanted stuff in our guestbook.
Also he wirtes message more than 400 characters which is the restirction set
in the submission from message field.
My problem is that I cannot set the access DB message filed to Text as the
limit would be only 255 character. Then how can I restrict someone making
more than 400 character entry in the message field?

You would have to control this via writing a custom ASP/VBScript solution. The field validation only
works if the user has JavaScript enabled.
