Remove any Blank Space

[access2010]

Could I please receive a suggestion on how to remove any Blank Space Preceding the Symbol_Stock Code and the Stock_Name Entry?

Thank you.

use Update Query:

UPDATE Investments01_tbl SET Investments01_tbl.Symbol_Stock = Trim([symbol_stock]), Investments01_tbl.Stock_Name = Trim([stock_name]);

Check out the Trim() function. Can be used in an update query if you want to get rid of them in the table.

Thank you for your suggestion, arnelgp.
We have been running an update query as you suggest, but would like to catch the problem at the time an entry is made.
Do you have a suggestion on how the space can be removed after the Cursor leaves the field?

Thank you, pbaldy for your suggestion, but we would like to correct the error before the Cursor Leaves the field.
Could you please offer us a suggestion on how this could be done?

There is such a thing as a control_LostFocus event in which you could add code to do the trim if the field isn't empty.

Simple-minded version:

Private Sub x_LostFocus()
X = Trim$(NZ(X,""))
End Sub
