    Extracting contents from memo fields

    Thanks for your reply, but "I realize this would be easier if the data were not in memo fields ... however, I cannot change the design."

[Colour] Blue Green Red I have another table with a key field ("Item") and two memo fields ("Back", "Front") that contain these attributes, like this.
