>On a related topic (I think), I know that a form property doesn't get padded (it's initialized to .F.), and assigning a string to it doesn't create padding, but: I've noticed that in a text box, e.g., when I enter a string, .value gets padded with spaces -- the number of spaces depends on the width of the text box. Initializing the text box's .value in the Form's Init with a fixed number of spaces appears to get ignored.

Pete,
What is the controlsource for the textbox?
