The Trim function only takes one parameter, the string itself

DIM str
str = " my text "
str = Trim(str)

All trim does is remove the spaces from the front & the back of the
string.

If you need to remove other characters then you need to use the
replace function

str = Replace(str, vbcr, "")

This will remove all the "return sign" from the string.

I often use this:

str = Replace (str, vbcrlf, "<br>")

to convert all the returns & line feed characters into a html Break
"<br>" This is used for like a forum system when a user enters text in
a textbox but you then want to display that text on the HTML page like
in a forum.



HTH.
