today at work, i got some work done on one of our #microsoft#access databases. our users use this #database to keep track of the accounts we work.
i had to make a form that the user fills out to log activity for a given account, and when they click “submit”, it adds the data to a table, and that data is also displayed on another form along with other information about that account.
i had to limit the amount of characters allowed by this “activity logger” form, and i figured out how to code a character counter that updates as you type. and once you exceed the character limit… it turns red!
y’all here on mastodon are awesome coders, but i’m pretty new at all this, and self-taught. i am over the moon with something as simple as a character counter in microsoft access.
