Try setting a variable=(vtitle&firstname&lastname) and set null = ' ' before printing. There may be an easier way but this is how I have worked around the problem. Tom Hart

I am dealing with title printing. My client keep track of sex of people in their table. The value could be unknown. When they print a letter putting name of people, either 'Mr.' or "Ms.' is printed except when it's unknown. I set vtitle to be Null when sex is unknown. But when Null value is printed, it prints 3 spaces because I put enough spaces to print 'Mr.' or 'Ms.' I want set some format , if exists, to prevent printing those 3 spaces and left justify their names.. Thank you always for your insightful suggestions and hints to help me. Aiko Ichimura [EMAIL PROTECTED]
