Just tried it and does not seem to work perhaps you could tell me the complete syntax.

the field of the original data is PartNumber and the data is in different lenghts
the new field needs to be called new

thanks

In the QBE field:

NewName:Right([YourData],len([YourData])-1)

I apologize for the typo.
