Now that I am thoroughly happy with the TRIM function, I have another issue. One downloaded field has catalog numbers. Unfortunately some are 18 char long with leading zeroes, and some are 10 char long with leading zeros. I just need the last six characters. I have this a s a text field, and need to convert this for easy reading for the staff. Editorial comment: This idiotic program was written in Oracle, is online, and I have no control over the downloads. The "gurus" that I have had contact with have no sense of user friendly applications. Thank Razzak for R:base - at least we have a tool to clean up other's garbage and make it useful. BC
