Use The Trim Function To Remove Leading And Trailing Spaces From A Text Field In Microsoft Access
In this Microsoft Access tutorial I'm going to teach you how to use the trim function to remove leading and trailing spaces from a text field or string.
Emma from Gainesville, Florida (a Gold member) asks: I get data submitted all the time that I import from text files and Excel sheets and every now and then people somehow add an extra space in front of their name or their address and it throws everything off with my sorting. Is there any way I can go through all of the records and remove leading spaces from those fields?
