    That kind of validation You'll have to do on a form.

    The Data Type can be controlled at the Table level, as well as the Maximum Length of each field, and a validation of "alpha only", but to say "no less than 3" will have to use the "count" function, so You'll have to script it into the Front End (the form that loads the table).

    It may be best to ask this on a developers forum where back-and-forth discussions are permitted.
