  Hi Hamid,

  How can I sue this string? Where should I add it?

  Also, do you know if it is possible to impose a limit to the number of characters in a text box, especially for web forms.

  Thanks,
  Mario

  Hi Mario,
  You must add the formula in a calculation field

  I'm very interested on how to make this work. I'm trying to put formula in calculation field so I can count characters in my text field above. I want it to show how many characters I have typed in the above filed. Please help me understand this more clearly. I have not been able to get the below formula to work.

  Hi Gabriel;

  simply enter 

  @your text field.length

  That calculates the number of characters - but it's not a "live" count, it counts after you've saved a text (by clicking outside the text field)

  Hi Rainer - Any idea how to calculate the word count instead of character count?
