I have a field as such: D9999*01, next record will be D10000*01. How can I hide the *01 (last 3 digits) either from the D9999*01 or the incremental D10000*01? This will be in a query.

something like:

SELECT Left(fieldName, InStr(fieldname, "*") - 1) From tblName

Thanks, I used: Left([DSO ID],InStr([DSO ID],"*")-1), worked fine. Appreciate the help.
