Changing from capital to small letters
Thanks Tom,
It didn't work. I created an update querie and wrote it in the "Update to" line. But a window appears asking me to write what [TestString] is. Can you please tell me what I am supposed to do and where I should write it? Dimitris "Tom Lake" wrote in message ... So in my mind it's something like: Wherever a name ends with "h" change it with "c" for example. Well in Greek we have 2 possibilities for a letter so I need to change it to the other one, that is why I need this. Thank you in advance Dimitris IIf(Right([TestString], 1) = "h", Left([TestString], Len([TestString]) - 1) & "c", [TestString]) Tom Lake

Dimitris,
Since you seem to be using the query grid, Try the following after you BACKUP your data - queries are not undoable. Field: LName Criteria: LIKE "*h" Update To: Left([Lname],Len([Lname])-1) & "c" "Dimitris" wrote in message ... Thanks Tom, It didn't work.
