Just using Le
or add x number of #Chr(32)# 's to the value (#chr(32)# is the ASCII value
for a space) depends on your needs

To do that, you'll have to replace the spaces with " " to generate
non-breaking spaces for the browser.

Just using Left() won't work if you're using variable length fields

You could use Left(myColumn & RepeatString(" ", 30), 30)

Alternatively you could do a Left(query.columnname, 30).
