Get rid of Automatic space in textbox 2

[AuctionLamb]

Hi guys!!

Need some help over here.......I am using VB 6.

I have a textbox, and on that textbox I do a validation(must have 8 digits). When I type in for example "12345678" it does not save because it is longer than 8 digits. Then I have found that when I type in something it adds a space at the end automatically "12345678 " so the system see it as 9 characters.

Is there something in the properties menu that I have to set to take it out or not putting it in?

THANKS!!

Could you put a break in the code provided by Matt and see when it occurs?

then start looking up the call stack

The Code HarleyQuinn gave me worked.

Private Sub Text1_GotFocus()
Text1.Text = Trim(Text1.Text)
End Sub

Thanks GUYS!!!!

Thanks for the star. Glad I/we could help.

For your own peace of mind it might still be worth finding out where in the code that you populate the box with the space, just to see how it is happening.
