Restricting Characters in a cell.
How would I restrict a column to show only 90 characters; even though you may
have 200 characters downloaded from another dbase? |
Restricting Characters in a cell.
the first step would be
columns(6).ColumnWidth = 90 Then you would need something in each cell in the adjacent column on the right. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "R Bitterman" <R wrote in message ... How would I restrict a column to show only 90 characters; even though you may have 200 characters downloaded from another dbase? |

Thanks Tom, but I can only show a maximum of 90 characters of data regardless
of how many characters are downloaded. Our customer then takes the file & downloads the information into their system. An error message comes back if their are more than 90 characters.

Then you would have to write a macro to remove the excess characters
for each cell in selection if len(cell) 90 then cell.Value = left(cell,90) end if Next -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "R Bitterman" wrote in message ...
