Required fields - Not containing just spaces

Hello all,
Is there a way to mark a field (nvarchar 100 in SQL) as required, but also require characters and just not spaces? I have some people who think they are smart and throw a couple of spaces in a field to satisfy the "required field" requirements. I need them to be able to enter all characters, including spaces, but not just spaces.
Thanks,
Brian

I don't know much about nvarchar but from what I've read, it's similar to varchar. Have you looked at the string functions? You could disallow anything that has double spaces.

Have you tried validate with a regular expression? Not to accept space only or leading space?

No, I havent...had to work on other stuff on the project, but I am still interested in doing that.
