Leading spaces
What is a good way to prevent leading spaces being entered in a name? I
know I can do a LTrim update query afterwards but I thought there might be an easier way at the data entry form stage. Chris in Canberra, Australia.

Sure, do an LTrim in the control's AfterUdate event. Something like:
Sub txtControlName_AfterUpdate() Me.txtControlName = LTrim(Me.txtControlName) End Sub -- Arvin Meyer, MCP, MVP http://www.datastrat.com http://www.mvps.org/access http://www.accessmvp.com "Chris Emery" wrote in message ...
