Default How to validate character length

I have a field for Social Security Number and I want to verify the character
length =9 characters. Or in other words I do not want the dashes entered in
like 111-11-1111. What is the formula for character length?

Thanks,
Bruce

You can use the Len() function in your validation formula.
