Replace function question with syntax

The line below currently works just fine. The * on either end are there as the data in the string is a barcode.

"*" + Trim({CusCushionInv.BaseModel} + "*")

I now need to program for the possibility of a space in that string as it can not be output to a barcode with the space. What I want to do is have a replace function that looks for a space and replaces it with an underscore _ character. This is what I've come up with but I have something wrong as I'm getting an error: "Too many arguments have been given to this function."

Replace ("*" + Trim(({CusCushionInv.BaseModel} + "*"), " ", "_"))

Can anyone see what my problem might be? I'm thinking that it's a syntax problem but I'm not sure.

Thanks

I have no idea what your CusCushionInv.BaseModel item is, but normally if you want to use the replace function, you'd do it like this:

VB Code:

sMySample = sCompanyName.Replace(" ", "_")

or

VB Code:

sSQL = "SELECT * FROM tbl_Company WHERE CompanyName = '" & sCompanyName.Replace(" ", "_") & "';"

Well, CusCushionInv.BaseModel is the string. This is from a function within Crystal Reports & like I said I need to incorporate the "*" part on each end.

So just add the star on.

VB Code:

sMySample = "*" & sCompanyName.Replace(" ", "_") & "*"

Is that not what you want to do?

Or maybe you want:

VB Code:

"*" + Replace(Trim({CusCushionInv.BaseModel}), " ", "_") + "*"

(i think you had too many brackets?)

MRGTI,

That was it. I had the first "*" on the wrong side of the Replace. When I checked the syntax in crystal it cam back without any errors. I'll try printing the barcodes to make sure it works correctly.

Thanks!
