To be more specific Im working on a project where the users have used a MS Excel workbook to keep track of projects (Due Dates, Status, Project name and # etc). They now have thousands of records and find themselves overwhelmed. I've managed to import all the data into Access tables and create easy to use forms. However I'm running into an issue with criteria based on Project number.
The have create a sequence where the first 3 digits represents the office, (ie 282) followed by a dash and then the project order (ie 01, 02, 03 etc). SO the scheme would read Office 282 project number 1. They then added a task identifier using the ".1" scheme. So you would end up with something like 282-01.1.
I only need information based on the "282-01" level and not down to the task level. How can I make a query only retrieve the highest level (282-01) and not include the sub tasks?
