I'm not 100% sure it work with field of a table, but what you said is the one that you are looking for... The function LEN(cExpression) will return the number of character in the string. If you want with or withouth traling space, until you get a space.. etc, you can put function In the LEN to get what you want : LEN(ALLTRIM("123 ") + ALLTRIM(" 456 ") + STR(789)) will return 9, and so on...
