Hi NG; I found this FieldLength property in the helpfile. What I would like to know, that didn't made sence in the helpfile, is what is this property useful for. My first idea was that you where able to limit the number of characters in the attribute but i doesn't seem to do that. Any suggestion what this can used for. Is it an ACAD2005-VBA thing. I'm running ACAD2004 on a machine with ACAD2005 but I cant run ACAD2005 because of licensproblem. TIA David
