ok. We used CHAR fields in this way simply because IBObjects 3.3
didn't pad them (or did trim them, depending :-) ) - i.e. it all
worked fine at that time. This wouldn't be a problem if the
FieldsTrimming then made them trim. However, if I add:

FORENAME=R
SURNAME=R

or even:

STAFF.FORENAME=R
STAFF.SURNAME=R

to either the TIB_Connection.FieldsTrimming or even the
TIB_Query.FieldsTrimming it seems to have no effect. anyone got any
idea why and what I can do to fix this?
TIA,
