Edit Box
The Data Exchange page for an edit box control specifies the numeric or text-based field to associate with the control. The properties on this page depend on the data field selected. The following table describes the properties that can appear for an edit box control.
Property
Description
Table type
The table in which the data field associated with the control resides. The default for a new control is the table with which the form is associated. If associating a control with a field in a foreign table is permitted, the tables from which you can select fields appear in the list.
Data field
The data field with which the edit box is associated. Choices are all fields in the selected table type. If the table is not the one associated with the form but rather is a foreign table, the field is inserted as display-only. In this case, all selections made for the remaining properties on the Data Exchange page are ignored.

Maximum value
The largest number that can be entered. This property appears when a numeric field is selected.
Maximum characters
