I'm not going to complain. This is a Good Thing! I have recently discovered that ltrim$ (and presumably also rtrim$) trims off not only spaces, but other whitespace characters, sub as newlines. thus, note A+ltrim$(chr$(13)+"B") will give you AB while note "A+chr$(13)+"B" will give you A B This is particularly useful in making label expressions when you have two fields, either of which may or may not be blank. If your expression is ltrim$(rtrim$(column1+chr$(13)+column2)) you will get an empty string if both fields are blank, a single line if one field is blank, and two lines if neither field is blank. Neat, huh?
