udf var

Will - the form scope is available to your function already, that's why it says can't declare variable twice.  Try using "frm" or something similar for the name of your argument to avoid confusion.  You still pass in the form scope, but just call it something different within your function. -- Josh >I haven't built a simple udf in forever, but decided to do one for my >trimming of formfields.
