Denis,
Bret gave you a solution. If you have more than 1 trailing carriage return, you could do something like this:

lcMemo = RTRIM(< MemoField >)

DO WHILE RIGHT(lcMemo,1)=CHR(13)
	lcMemo=LEFT(lcMemo, LEN(lcMemo)-1)
ENDDO
REPLACE < MemoField > WITH lcMemo

>Is there an obvious way to remove trailing carriage returns at the end of memo field - nasty in reports that display alltrimed memos. I have tried a substr() command replacing chr(13) with "" but this not working. Thank you in advance if someone knows the best way.
