Re: leading spaces

Hi Jerry,

You're trimming alright, but adding a space back in. Example:

"Tenant = ' " & fixQuotes(Trim(Request.form("Tenantname"))) & "', "

Note the space after the single quote, right after "Tenant ="

As for nulls, you shouldn't be having any problems with that. An empty text
box has a value of "", which is an empty string, not null. If you're having
a problem there, it lies in something I don't see. You might want to check
your rules in the database.
