need to limit length of form in OL2003
I am designing a simple form in outlook I plan for people to use to send me
an SMS text message to my cell phone. The message field field is set to unlimited length. That means I get several messages from the person, because my phone is limited to 160 or so characters per message. What I want to do is Outlook/Exchange to limit the form to that many characters, so they can't send a message longer than my phone can fit into one message. Thanks!

need to limit length of form in OL2003
Have you considered using a custom text field and text box instead of the regular message control?

need to limit length of form in OL2003
Hi, Sue. I tried adding another field to the form that did let me change the
maxlength field. Problem is, it didn't show up in the message when sent, which led me to believe the cell phone/sms system/receiving thing (whatever) was looking for the field labeled 'message'.

You could put code in the form's Item_Send event handler to set the Body property to the value of the custom property that holds the short text.
