Hi Eric (or is it Steve?), I sent this to the wrong person.
Here is what I do to trim carriage returns and line feeds (if that is what you need to do):
FOR i = 1 TO LEN(this.result)
    IF ASC(SUBSTR(this.result, i, 1))=10 .and. i>1
   	this.result = LEFT(this.result, i-1)
    ENDIF
    IF ASC(SUBSTR(this.result, i, 1))=13 .and. i>1
	this.result = LEFT(this.result, i-1)
    ENDIF
ENDFOR
How is the weather up there in Wisconsin? I'm from Portage originally, but I have lived in NC for 11 years now and can not imagine having to dig my way out of the snow before going to work anymore!

>I know you can you use ALLTRIM() & TRIM() on character expressions to trim blanks off, but it does not work for a memo field. How do you go about trimming blanks off of a memo field? Thanks!
