[AccessD] Blanks in text box

Rocky,

It might be crude, but could you just force the string using something like (code below) on the BeforeUpdate of the text box?

Thanks,

Mark A. Matte

CODE START
Dim SpaceCheck
Dim Length
Dim TrimLength
Dim FinalString
FinalString = Me!Text0
Length = Len(Me!Text0.Text)
TrimLength = Len(Trim(Me!Text0.Text))
If Length = TrimLength Then GoTo SKIP
SpaceCheck = 0
Do Until SpaceCheck = Length
FinalString = FinalString & Chr(32)
SpaceCheck = Len(FinalString)
Loop
SKIP:
MsgBox FinalString & "test"
CODE END
