Chart formatting and non breaking spaces

Hi all,

I'm having a problem and I cannot seem to find how to fix this anywhere on the web.

I have a stacked bar chart with my data labels showing down the x axis. My client wants me to put a bit of white space between the label and the actual chart. So I tried adding spaces to my data label but of course RS thinks they don't exist since they are not non breaking spaces.

How can I do the following in my chart label

=Fields!Myfield.Value & " "

As you can see I want to add a couple of spaces to my data label. I can't use  , all the ampersands get confused. I tried & char(32) but RS doesn't like char(n). I tried ChrW(160) [I saw this in the web somewhere] but this didn't work either.

Is there anything I can do?

thanks in advance, I'm at my wits end (again)

Try Chr(160).|||thanks but this made no difference....We have told the client we can't add spaces between the label and the axis, they are ok with it.

Char(10) breaking query

I have been working on a pretty ugly stored procedure recently, while debugging I added a char(10) to the end of each line of the SQL query so I could copy it to query analyzer(QA) and debug the SQL syntax output from of the stored procedure.

It had no effect on the stored procedure working, but when I copied the query to QA it got the error below, so I removed them all and added them in one line at a time to find the problem.

--Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 3
--Line 3: Incorrect syntax near ','.

Below are the 2 querys, the only difference is the Char(10) between Amt6 and Amt7!

I also tried char(13) with same results.

any ideas why this is happening or how to add line breaks for readability without this problem?

Thanks for your help!Why is the code all on 1 line?

Ir's generated code isn't it.

Kind of hard to debug it without being formatted...|||You've been living in the *nix world too long! Windoze uses CRLF (aka Char(13) + Char(10) in SQL) instead of just LF (Char(10), aka NewLine) to separate lines.
