Best Practice to Remove Whitespace

Ignoring the Data Transformation Module, what is the best method for removing trailing spaces on text fields? I could setup a calculated field (RTRIM) for each of these, but that would be time consuming. I was hoping there was a better way.

Thank you,

Jason

This idea will be a huge help! I didn't know what virtual tables were. Actually, this could completely change the way I prepare data.

Thank you,
