SYMPTOMS

In an Access project (ADP) file, data that is displayed in bound text boxes on a form is displayed incorrectly if the control has the DefaultValue property set to a string of n characters and a new value is entered in the text box that has more than n characters. When the text box loses focus, only the first n characters are displayed in the text box.
