Looks like you've found a solution, but I wanted to offer up one of my favorite VFP string functions: CHRTRAN().
YOu can use it to replace all characters in a stringthat match
any character in another string with a third expression. In your particular case, you would just:
lcString = CHRTRAN(lcString, " ","")
But you can also do tons of other cool stuff, like remove any invalid characters:
lcString = CHRTRAN(lcString, "~!@#$%^&*?","")
Or getting even more creative, you can remove any character that does not
occur in a given string, so you can filter your string for only valid characters. Say a product code is only supposed to contain the digits 0-9 and the letters A-F, and all other characters should be removed-
lcString = CHRTRAN(lcString, CHRTRAN(lcString, "0123456789ABCDEF",""),"")
