Hi,

I have a field in one of my tables that contains IP Addresses. These addresses can look something like 142.67.214.73/24 or 192.168.196.0. I would like create a calculated field so that ALL IP addresses just show the first 3 octet's. So the first one would just show 142.67.214 and the second one just 192.168.196

Any help would be great .......

Thanks !

IP: Left([IP Address],InStr(InStr(InStr([IP Address],".")+1,[IP Address],".")+1,[IP Address],".")-1)
.
