This sure will work but, as I told you, the problem is that the select has to be done on *, ans TRIM(*) won't work... Anyway if you know how to make TRIM work for *, i'll be happy to share your knowledge ;)
Thanks

I cannot add this number to another one in ASP without doing a cint() to force it to be considered as an integer, or doing a trim(). That's why I think that my 'select' brings me the number and blanks, making ASP consider it as a character.
