Thanks Bill, Len, and Tom:

You suggestion of 

    select distinct trim(name) as foo .... order by trim(name);

works wonderfully. 


I do have another question about this though. Why does it this command work

    select name as foo .... order by trim(name);

when this does not

    select distinct name as foo .... order by trim(name);

Once again, thanks a million.

Brett
