String too long

[Amy Dickens]

Hello,

I am using a user form to gather notes to insert into a
document. Unfortunately, in some cases I'm getting an
error message stating that the string is too long. The
maximum length property for the form field is set at
unlimited. Any ideas how I can get this field to accept
more characters?

Thanks. Amy

Hi Amy,

See the article "How to set the result of a text formfield using VBA, if the
string is longer then 256 characters" at:

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded
