I cant recall where I have seen it but Im after some code that will display the number character left on an unbound txt field before a user reaches the allowable 255 characters in a bound text field.

I try searching the forum but could not find anything.

Any help how could do this would be much appreciated.
 
Try

Code:
Private Sub FirstTextbox_Change()
  Me.SecondTextbox = 255 - Len(Me.FirstTextbox.Text)
End Sub
 
perfect!! thank Paul. much appreciated.
