BTW, just for 100% clairty, none of these "word-based" approaches work if
there is a non-breaking space ( or  ) in the field. Admittedly,
the possibility of this happening is extremely low, but to be on the safe
side, this is "trim" function I use:
function trim what
if the platform is "MacOS" then
replace numToChar(202) with " " in what
else
replace numToChar(160) with " " in what
end if
return (word 1 to -1 of what)
end trim
So for testing an empty field, it would be:
if trim(fld 1) = "" then
