Can you post the code you are using?
>I have a field that has max of 7 chacaters, but I am only using 5 right now so I just alltrim my data as I save it to the field. I added an index to use rushmore on this field now it keeps adding in 2 extra spaces into each record of the entire table. Now when my user types in this number and my where statment and a scan for trys to compaire it doens't match. The strange thing is it is kind of intermitten. I tried to put a alltrim into the where statement, but that doesn't seem to work.
