Hi Rob,

Another way is to use the Text Length option under Data Validation
Settings Allow Text Length Choose the criteria you want Ok.

I am creating an application form to be used electronically. I want a
particular cell to be free text, so users can write what they like (ie
their
name), but I want to limit the number of characters they can use. Can this
be
done?

I have put text wrap on the cell, but it still allows me to enter more
information than fits into the box. I want it to stop users entering info
when the visible cell is full.
