It looks like you're putting the trim() on the value attribute of the input field. How about the value you pass into the query? This should work: select fields from table where somefield = '#trim(form.field)#' You want to trip spaces on your search query in addition to trimming when you re-display the form. -Justin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
