>I am extracting a path string that I have stored in the Windows registry. When the string is extracted, it is terminated with a NULL character. I trim this character off and use the string. This works just fine in Windows 98 and Win 95. NT, however, seems to ignore the striping action, and therefore keeps the NULL terminated string. How do I get rid of the NULL character in NT?

I do first cut the NULL character and then use alltrim.

mystring = alltrim(Left(mystring,len(mystring),1))

Hope this is what you mean,
