   I'm scanning a field formatted as A12, which contains UPC codes (all   
   digits). Any record with 10 characters or less is valid, and I simply want   
   to know how many records are like that. I aimed the code below at a test   
   copy of my table. When it was done, it RETAINED a lot of records which were   
   <11 chars. Checking some of those in field view, I see no hidden chars. What   
   might be causing this?   
      
   Incidentally, if I change the LEN() test to >10, it still doesn't function   
   correctly. This script is purely informational. I simply need to know how   
   many records (out of 18,000) need "treatment". If it's a dozen, I'll ignore   
   them. If it's "a lot", I'll take other action.
