How do you delete a certain text string (or if not that, then the last 6 characters of a field) using a query?
 
If you are talking about just changing a field value then
Code:
   UPDATE tbl SET fld = Left$(fld,len(fld)-6)
   WHERE Right$(fld,6) = "abcdef"
If you want to get rid of the whole record then look up the DELETE command.
 
Thank you! That worked perfectly!
