I used the labal wizard to create a report to print mailing labels. When I
did, access uses the trim() function for each of the text fields. My labels
contain 4 lines... name, name2, address, citystatezip. The way that access
set up the report (using trim() I presume) if there is no data in the name2
fields, access eliminates the space where it would go rather than leaving a
blank line. I was unaware of this function but quickly put it to use on a
number of my reports. I then tried it on a form. The form simply displays
the same info as the mailing list. It, however does not display the same
way. If name2 is blank, access shows a blank line. I saved the form as a
report and the blank line dissapears again. Am I making a correct assumption
that the trim() function either a) does not work the same way on a form as
it does in a report, or b)there is something else about that label wizard
report that causes it to perform the way it does?

What you are seeing on the report is not Trim(). It is the capability of
controls on reports to shrink and grow vertically. Shrinking in this case means
to disappear entirely when the field value is null.
Control on forms also have these properties but they only pertain to printing
the form, not to on-screen usage.

Here is the general problem:
Information is taken from a form (consisting of text boxes, drop down
lists et cetera) and submitted to an Access database. Before the data
is inserted into the database, trailing and leading spaces are removed
using a call to the Trim()function.
This works the first time data is inserted into the database. However,
if the data is modified (via web forms) and then resubmitted (after
calling the Trim()...

the textboxes had the following:

In old .mdb application I have a query which handles msysobjects table

How could I read information about forms and reports in .adp application ?
Has .adp any information about forms and reports ?

I have an app that makes decisions based on string content. I need to make
sure that a string does not contain only spaces or newlines. I am using the
syntax 'Trim(String)" and it works fine. I thought I'd change it to the VB
..NET method "String.Trim" but that throws an object exception.
Which brings the question: is it compliant to use Trim(String), or is it
more within etiquette to use If Not String Is Nothing Then String.Trim?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
