I was thinking of that, but AFAIK these settings are irrelevant since m.ccinv+m.Slsman take the full length of Inv_No + Salesman. Though I need to re-check, if I add spaces to Salesman, since it's taken from the form's unbound textbox.

I was thinking, that perhaps select sum() decides on the length of the resulting field based on the particular record...
