Okay, I know this is an easy one, and I've actually *done*
it before, I just can't remember where, or how...
On output, I've got a field that I want to clip at the
LAST space character before 254 characters are displayed.
If it's a memo/text field, and it contains 500 characters,
I only want to display UP TO the very last "space"
character before the 254 is reached.
The field that currently clips a "and a wonderf" would
clip at "and a" then I'd put "more..." following that.
I'm guessing this is so easy, I'm going to slap myself.
