Here's the problem. I got this one field that need to be separated into a few field to query properly. This is that field : 10/100-115 ET42 10 means 10 holes 100 means pcd = 100 115 means pcd = 115 ET42 means 42 offset Yes, it's for wheels measurement. The manufacturer gives the company specs this way and will keep doing it like that. So rather than manually entering the pcd, holes and offset, there has to be a way to macro them into their separate field. Can anybody please help me? I know there's quite a number of wizards here.
Some help... Howdy, I would create the extra fields in a table then do an UPDATE query and do a Mid on the original value splitting the data into the new fields. eg: Mid([originaldatafield],x,y) Where x is the starting position of the data for that field and y is the number of characters. So for the example: holes = Mid([originaldatafield],1,2) pcd1 = Mid([originaldatafield],4,3) pcd2 = Mid([originaldatafield],8,3) offset = Mid([originaldatafield],14,2) Baff.
