Hi,

>In VB6, you were allowed to declare a string at a specific size, and if you exceeded the size, it automatically truncated and if you were inserting a value less then the size, you would get trailing spaces, again automatically. I need to replicate that same ability. Is there any way, other then writing seperate methods to do this?

There's always VB6.FixedLengthSring. Will that work for you ?
