Data is Fill1 character(15)

Current record shows 'p8 ' in text box.
Edit does this 'p8-123 '

Sucker grows in WIDTH.

Blow up is as follows:
Cannot set column 'ap_fill1' to 'p8-123 '. The value violates the MaxLength limit of this column.

Line in red ;)
Line 510: dsGetDepapplCL.Tables[0].Rows[0]["ap_fill1"] = MmTextBox7.Text ;

I have added a .Trim() to the textbox.text line but that is crap! Because I can now run through the above line and fail with :

Cannot set column 'ap_fill1' to 'p82345 '. The value violates the MaxLength limit of this column.

in my line of code:
oDepapplCL.SaveDataSet(dsGetDepapplCL);

This only happens when I have a SHORT amount of text and try to expand on it. If I start with 'ABCDEFG-HIJ' and want it to become 'ABCD-HIJ' no problem. Now try to go back to 'ABCDEFG-HIJ' and dead in the water.

>>I am getting caugth in editing a textbox that my last edit was only 4 chr wide. I now want to fix it to a len() of 8 and the actual server column in set as char(15).

>>I blow up when I am forcing the edit back into the ds so I can check for changes. If I leave it alone and let ds.SaveDataSet() do it's voodoo it's fine. User needs the changes loged so I'm stuck in what I'm doing for now.
