Hi Mark,
If you are sure your address column is like 'O/S 17 Some Street' , you can use:
select Mid$(address_column,5,2) from address_table into selection
in a sql query. It wil return 17 in this case.
Mid$() returns part of a string. 5 because the part begins at the fifth character and

List,
I have a file that contains entries like 'O/S 17 Some Street' and I need to
extract the house number. I know it involves the InStr() function but can't
work it out fully. Could someone please provide a 'snippet' for an SQL.
Thank you all.
