Do a STRSTR command to find the first period this?provides a numeric value that you can use to do a SUBSTR action. You will need a new field to hold the variable an Active Link Guide and two Active Links.

It gets a little complicated as an IP address length varies. For example an IP address could be 1.1.1.1 or 123.123.123.123. Is there a way to do a SUBSTR type of function that can start after the second "."? I'm trying to avoid reformatting the address to eventually get what I want. Then again if I'm going about this the wrong way I'm open to thoughts.
