Hi,
There are a lot of white space inside each table field after getting Access
DB created with importation from excel file. Then the table and
forms/reports are looking bad.
Is there a way to automatically remove them? Or do we have some way to do
similar thing on excel file first?
Thanks.

What do you mean by "white space"? Are you talking about spaces or blank
characters at the beginning or end of the data, or are you talking about the
size of the display area for the Field in Datasheet View or the size of the
Controls in Forms and Reports (though I am reasonably sure that the size of
the data is not going to auto-adjust the size of Controls in Forms and
Reports).

As has already been suggested, if it is leading or trailing blanks, the Trim
function will remove them.

I'm trying to layout a couple text input fields and their
corresponding labels without using a table. When I was trying to
debug my understanding of CSS, I was *very* surprised to see that
span's with borders behave counter-intuitively (IMHO) when using
style="white-space: nowrap;".
Below is a fairly small chunk of XHTML that demonstrates what I'm
talking about. What gives?

Is there a way to remove all the white space in the fields?
I have been using Find-and-replace - looking for 2 or 3 or 4 or 10 spaces
and replacing them with none. I don't want to replace single spaces, those
are the spaces between the words. But most of what is in the fields has been
cut-n-pasted from online forms, and the results can be VERY spread out. I
could probably save 80% of the space if I could get rid of the extra white
space....

Hello,
I am trying to clean up my "view source" code. Currently, due to the way i format my php/html code, the end viewable source looks really spread out with lots of white space between lines.
Is there a way via CSS or using /n that will clean my code up a little.
I have looked into Code Beautifing programs and am NOT intrested in them.
Thanks.

Hi,
Can someone please show me how to tell Firefox to preseve white-space when
returning the selectList.option.value attribute?
I have change the style so that the white-space is preserved on the screen,
but for some bizarre reason when I try to substring out a series of bytes
(aka a fixed-length string or field) from a given option it squashes
everything up and corrupts the result.
