Thank you! This did exactly what I needed. I think the Trim function was key.
I'm still hoping someone out there knows how I can code the shading of alternating rows in my report. I am migrating an MS Access Application to SQL/ColdFusion and I really need to be able to shade alternating rows to make the report easier to view. In Access reports, this is done by coding a combination of a Mod function and alternating the background color of the row. But, I am at a loss for how to do it in CF Report Builder. If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate it. Do most Coldfusion developers use the Report Builder for reports or do they use Crystal Reports or other 3rd party toold?
