Howdy-do!

FYI - in order to keep the signal to noise high we offer on-topic tips for 
general chatter messages.

<tip name="Anthony Baratta" subject="ASP/VB Script">

The Trim() command is your friend. Use it liberally like a good axle 
grease. Whenever you get the "raw" data from a database or a form/query 
string, trim your data.

e.g.
         varField = Trim(objRS("Field"))
         varField = Trim(Request.Form("Field"))
         varField = Trim(Request.QueryString("Field"))
         varField = Trim(Request("Field"))

</tip>
