Is there any way to check under conditions to look for when a user types in a blank space? I need to take two text fields and build an email address from it. I would like to ultimately remove the blank space before creating the "email address" but if this is not possible, at least be able to put out a message on the form that the user needs to check for an extra space. please see the attached form. thanks

Hello NippersD,
Unfortunately, there is no option to check or trim spaces on fields under conditions. So my suggestion is that if you have a website, you can export your form's full HTML source, place it on a web page and insert there a javascript code that shall validate the input fields trimming leading and trailing spaces.
If this is not possible for you or if you need assistance, please let us know.
Thanks.

Your solution is not possible in my case. I'd like then to make a developer suggestion:
Conditions --> Update / Calculate Field --> Math Functions --> Other Functions
add the function "TRIM()"
and/or
Conditions --> Update / Calculate Field
allow the ability to look for a blank space as a Value when using STATE = "Contains" and TARGET = "Value" or another field. If that value or other field could be assigned by default CHAR(32), or " "
thanks for looking into this.

I have checked with some widgets and could not find anything that could help to remove spaces, at least not without using the source code of the form.
I will forward this thread to our second level so our developers may consider developing this; however, do note that we cannot provide an ETA or ensure this will be implemented, we will let you know as soon as we get updates regarding this.
