Actually I had tried "stripping" even on both sides, before database acce=
ss
and after, no difference. This worked:

##
result =3D string.replace(myform,'\n', '')

it was a NEWLINE that tripped me up the whole time :-))


Thanks for the tip all the same

Best regards

or simply use strip(), which will remove leading and trailing whitespace =
of
any
kind.  Which, in this instance seems like the right thing to do.  There i=
s
also
rstrip() which only strips from the right.<
