Check attachment size before doc is saved

Use the following code in the Querysave event to prevent saving a document that exceeds size limits you want to impose.

To avoid getting an extra prompt to save the document when the limit is exceeded, you'll either want to use the formula "@If(@Command([FileSave]);@Command([FileCloseWindow])" or use a hidden, editable "SaveOptions" field on the form, with a default text value of "1". If you use the SaveOptions field, then enable the "fieldsettext" calls in the script below.
