[AccessD] Restrict the number of lines in a text box.

Hey Rocky
Thanks for the reply.  Basically what I figured.
What I figure on doing is using the old Access97 code (it needs 
modifying) to get the maximum characters for the text box width and 
multiply that by the number of lines. That way I can first run a check 
to see what is happening if the user is just simply typing text (no 
carriage return or line feed).
If it passes the test then check and count the number  CR and/or LF if 
they exceed the number of lines -1 then trap it and warn the user.  I 
think that should work. Just didn't want to reinvent the wheel if there 
was something already out there.
