    When is a Wildcard not a wildcard?

    Yep that's exactly what I told my boss when he asked for the field in question to be an updateable drop down list. I'd much rather it was a straightforward combo box with a range of pre-set values to select for the very reason that I am now tidying it all up. That's the problem when users get...

    When is a Wildcard not a wildcard?

    Hello, I am trying to run a query to pick up some odd entries in a rather large database. Users have been keying data into a text field such as "Nationally funded?" and "Nationally funded / Local Charity" I need to search for all these 'odd' entries and can't use the criteria: Like "*?*"...

    What's your best/worst joke?

    An Irishman called Paddy was taking his heavily pregnant wife Mary to the maternity unit at the local hospital to give birth. When they arrived the receptionist asked "Is she dilated?" To which Paddy replied "Oh to be sure, she's over the moon!"

    More the one input mask on a field

    Cheers dude. I went with "0000009" as it's the last digit that's optional. Many thanks you guys for all your help. Rusty :D

    More the one input mask on a field

    Cheers dude. The field is a text field that needs to have either a 6 or 7 digit numerical value put in it. (The reason it's a text field even though there's a number going in there is that some of them start with a 0, i.e. "012345") Hope that makes sense. Rusty :D

    Yeah, that was a separate incident in Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year when several of the housemates subjected an Indian actress to "bullying and racism" in the programme. Telegraph.co.uk Thankfully 'Jade' now seems to have sunk into obscurity. Rusty :D

It's quite straightforward and I have attached an example using the information you supplied in the original post, with the three bits of data combined with slashes in between in a new fourth...
