How can I limit the data entry in my subform which is in datasheet view?
Sure, Assuming that the field types used offer that option, and most do, but memo may not.
While in the table view mode go to the design mode. Once there look for field length option, and make your change. Be prepared to have existing data truncated to the new max length. You have found out that the datasheet view is the quick and dirty way to update table fields and it uses the properties from the table design.

Thank you for the help ke5uyx! But what I mean is how can I limit the number of records be encoded in a row in a datasheet view subform like for example the folowing is my subform
Name Birthdate Age
Princess 07/21/1974 33
Queen 06/051973 35
if the encoder will add more name in the subform it will give a message that says "only two persons are allowed."
Thank you for the solution. God bless!
