The problem with this solution is that it may cut off words in the middle once you've hit the 100 count. A better solution is to stop at the nearest word. There's UDF in cflib.org that does just that: http://www.cflib.org/udf.cfm?ID=329 >From the site: Description An enhanced version of left() that doesn't cut words off in the middle; instead, it searches backward until it finds a full word. Warnings Note that FullLeft() acts just like the built-in function Left() in the event only one word is passed to it, or the count parameter is less than the length of the first word in the passed string. hth, -- Larry C.
