I'm sure I'm missing a simple way to do this, but I have a text box that needs to be validated it contains at least seven (7) characters. It can have any characters and well over 7 if desired. Suggestions?

Captivate's TEB validation options allow you to specify the Maximum number of characters but not that there must be at least a certain number of characters.

The default TEB validation options are quite basic.  If you want something more sophisticated, you're probably going to need to resort to JavaScript coding.
