>>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?

Your suggestion actually helped me come across this "Attribute" < VBFixedString(Size)>. Unfortunately it does not work for "Local" variables. So that attribute doesn't help. But in response to your original suggestion, where do I find the VB6 namespace?
