Text form field length

[Michael]

Hello
Normally, a bookmark can be up to 40 characters long when inserted through the menu Insert Bookmark. But when I add a text form field and then specify a bookmark name in the properties field of the text form field, I can only add a name up to 20 characters. This is a very unpleasant limitation that forces me to use variable names not longer than 20. Any help appreciated, thanks!

Hi Michael,

Even if you assign a new name to the formfield via vba, it gets tructated to
20 characters.

All I can suggest is an email to (e-mail address removed)

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.

Hope this helps
