I have a situation where I need to truncate data received in Field B from
Field A.  Field A will allow up to 75 characters (via data validation) and it
populates Field B which will only hold 53 characters.  I do not understand
why this has to work this way on this form, but must replicate it any way.  
Any thoughts.

Set a default value formula on Field B which is something like:

substring(FieldA, 0, 53)
