The way this could be done is to create 2 AL's and 1 zTmp field:

Create a hidden zTmpField (Character) on the form.

1st AL -
Execute on Button Click (Search button I suppose)
RunIF: (none)
Action - Set Fields
Set zTmpField = LENGTHC($SearchField$)

2nd AL -
Execute on Button Click (Search button)
RunIF: 'zTmpField' < X (where X=your number count)
Action - Message
Error: "You must enter X characters in order to search" (or something like
that!)

I have a Character field on one of the Console forms.

This searches for a unique customer number. 

Is there a way I can require at least 2 characters or more be entered before it 
searches?
