Hi

I am using VB6 and SQL 2000 as my data source

I have populated my datagrid and need to sets some rules on it. This
is where I am struggling.

When the user is entering data into a field I need any error message
to appear if they try to key more charactersd than field will allow
them to store
i.e if I have Employee_Number AS varchar(8)
As soon as they press the ninth character an error pops up advising
that they have exceeded the filed size.

.
