		I have a database attribute of type TEXT. I want to restrict the actual amount of text that is entered into this field but am not sure how to do it. 
 
My control is a multi-line text box. I wondered if I could restrict the number of rows in this box and prevent it from auto scrolling once it is full? 
 
In the DICT application I also tried restricting the column size (on the update column screen), but it still seems to allow me to enter and save too much data. 
 
Any suggestions?
