When I select data from my data base I have spaces on the lead side for example the data that is stored is " 33.jpg". Spaces included, exclude the quotes, quotes are example only to show the spaces. I would like to remove these spaces. Is there a way to do this? Can it be done in the query? Any help would be appreciated. Larry Sandwick Sarreid, Ltd.
