I am having a problem formatting a text item(I am developing using forms 6i and these are some of the properties for the text item)

Data Type : Number
Maximum length : 9
Required : No
Format mask : 000000000

The problem is while the validation seems to work fine (by not allowing non numeric characters)it does allow spaces i.e for example if only spaces are entered these spaces are committed. I have reviewed the various format masks but nothing seems to help. can anyone offer any assistance.

I think this question belongs to Forms forum and not SQL Experts one.

Your "committed spaces" are, actually, NULL. So, if you don't want it to happen, make this column NOT NULL (in a database) and required (in a form).
