    Issue with removing special characters where original data length varies

    Still getting the same result. Please look at the (2) .jpg's I attached, the original and Step 2. As you can see when I enter your suggested command Mid([ZIP],2,InStr(1,[ZIP],"-")-2) in the Update Field of the query, the result of the query is perfect IF the original zipcode was...

    Issue adding text to a field

    Glad to..... When I first developed this Access Database it was back in the late 1990's! At that point in time the 201400565333 numbers would have been imported into my database as 14- 565333. That is why I had to set the field up as a text field and no a number field. (I imported the numbers...
