restrict number of characters in a field?

[Peter T. Evensen]

You can put the following in the script for the field.  In this case 5 is 
the max character.

on keyDown pKey
    if the length of the text of me < 5 then
         pass keyDown
    end if
end keyDown

(note, this hasn't been tested, but just written off the top of my head)
