Hi Brian,

Didn't say where you wanted to remove the carriage returns from. Here is some code to remove leading carriage returns. Perhaps you can tweak if you need anything else.

Parameters lcTrimmed
DO WHILE .T.
DO CASE
CASE LEFT(lcTrimmed,1) = CHR(13) && Enter Key
lcTrimmed = SUBSTR(lcTrimmed,2)
CASE LEFT(lcTrimmed,1) = CHR(10) && CTRL ENTER Key
lcTrimmed = SUBSTR(lcTrimmed,2)
CASE LEFT(lcTrimmed,1) = " " && Trim Spaces
lcTrimmed = LTRIM(lcTrimmed)
OTHERWISE
EXIT
ENDCASE
ENDDO

RETURN lcTrimmed

HTH
