Use the Input Mask property of the text box. Look up Input mask in the
help file. It gives examples.

Trailing spaces won't be stored. You can set the field length to 8; you
can use an input mask (that will do the spaces AFAIK); but they're gone
as soon as you 'save' the field.

What is it for? I mean, why do you want to have exactly 8 characters?
