I agree with Nigel. I guess you copied and pasted these 2 lines of data into the UT editor. I see a lot of spaces in the editor in these 2 lines but not in the preview. Thats means there is something other than spaces.

>>Michiel: try using a hex editor on the text file - you may find a non-space character where you thought the space was. Make sure you use the original file (reload it if necessary) as some utilities put spaces where you don't want them. I believe there is a hexedit program with VFP5 (in tools, I think).
