>I have a need to determine if trailing spaces have been entered into a textbox or a combobox by the user. If the user adds trailing spaces, then these are significant and part of the text expression. Normally the .Value property (or .DisplayValue) has the text padded with spaces to the full size allowed. I only want trailing spaces if they are entered by the user.

BTW, I forgot to answer your question. Actually I learnt the answer just recently by the interesting coincidence. See Christof's answer at http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1941254&SiteID=1

Here is it:

If you don't specify a ControlSource, nor an InputMask or a MaxLength value, then VFP uses the textbox width and the average character width to calculate the maximum number of characters you can enter into a textbox. If you want more than 30 characters you have to specify an InputMask or set MaxLength.

Looks like this question was in a different thread (may be the one I pointed you to). Anyway, would not hurt to put it here :)
