Default LIMIT THE NUMBER OF CHARACTERS ENTERED IN A FIELD

Describe what you mean when you say "fields"... Are they cells on the
worksheet? Or are they TextBox'es either on the worksheet or on a UserForm?
If the latter, which is it, the worksheet or a UserForm. If the worksheet,
where did you get the TextBox'es from? Or do you mean something else by
"fields"?

Go to Data section - Data Validation and use the Allow: text length.
