Steve:   Yeah, that sucks.   There was a point in 6.5++ where this started 
happening.  In previous builds, it would "reserve" space for null values but 
starting with one build it started closing up those spaces.    I remember that 
I 
did not upgrade one of my clients to that build because she had SO many 
chooses that could have null values I decided I didn't want to "fix" my code.

But in any case, you have to put this "ifnull" test in there for any of your 
columns that you believe might be null.   Here's a sample of columns that you 
know will not be null and some that might be.  I put a period within the 
quotes.  I kow that a space didn't work but can't remember if I tested putting 
in a 
char(255) (hard space) to see if that worked.

CHOOSE vAsk FROM #VALUES FOR ( +
    LJS( CompanyName,35) & +
    LJS( IFNULL(city,'.',city),15)   .....
