Can you Trim a dbtext field within the richtext editor?

rbuser

?Hello,

I have created a 'stock' text rich file in Report Builder that
references specific fields in a database.

The issue:
Some of these referenced fields are padded up to 40chars so when I
preview the report template, there are blank spaces after the
fieldvalue, then the sentance continues.

Is there a way to change the dbtext diplay property to trim the field in
the RT editor? od_Desc

Hi Caralene,

Unfortunately there is no way in ReportBuilder to access the data just
before it is placed in a mailmerged RichText. One option would be to load
this data into a temporary dataset where you could alter the field values
before ReportBuilder gets them. The other would be to access your data
directly and remove these padding spaces if they are un-needed.

I will mark this down for a possible new event location for a later release
of RB.
