I guess old habits die hard. Thanks, I'll keep LTRIM() in mind in this situation.

>PMFJI, how about using LTrim(Str()) - I keep seeing this and wonder why people would want the trailing spaces trimmed (hint: there aren't any).

>>I only use the ALLTRIM(STR()) format when I know I'm dealing with integers. If I have decimals, I pass the extra parameters to STR() that specify the number of decimals. I'm kind of leary of switching to TRANSFORM() after reading the Knowledge Base article I mentioned previously. Did you take a look at that?
