used FP to create an online form. is there a limit of words or characters
that can be returned when someone completes and submits? submitted results
keep coming in but are cut off, not giving me the full results.

you should right click the input boxes (text fields) on the form and
click "form field properties" and then click "validate" and see if
there's a min or max amount of characters allowed.

If that's ok, then check the physical database itself. (If you had FP
create it, then it's a Access Database, usually stored in a folder
called "FPDB" )
Check each column in the database to see if it's set for "text" or
"memo" type. IF needed, changed from "text" (which limits characters
to 250 - i believe) to "memo" which doesn't limit the amount of text.

Click to expand...

The text field limit is 255 char.
