a small problem with String functions
I am dealing with strings that contain text such as 'Box1,1' to 'Box30,14'
and I need to seperate out the numbers either side of the comma (,). Can anyone help with string functions or code to do this and store the numbers in integer variables. Many thanks in advance. Andy.

Two questions:
Do all the strings have Box, the comma and two "numbers?" What version of Access are you running? -- There's ALWAYS more than one way to skin a cat! Answers/posts based on Access 2000/2003 Message posted via AccessMonster.com http://www.accessmonster.com/Uwe/For...forms/200712/1

If the answer to my last question is Yes, and if you're running Access 2000
or later, xomething like this will do it: Dim OriginalString, StrippedString As String StrippedString = Replace(OriginalString, "box", "") Me.FirstNumber = Left(StrippedString, InStr(StrippedString, ",") - 1) Me.SecondNumber = Right(StrippedString, Len(StrippedString) - (InStr (StrippedString, ","))) Linq -- There's ALWAYS more than one way to skin a cat!
