All my records in a field return "RT-" or "MT-", I dont want that to show in the report.

I searched for trim in the subject thinking this must have been covered 100 million times and it turned up empty...


Thanks,

I'm sorry, all records return with MT- or RT- at the beginning of the record "RT-Michigan" I only want it to show Michigan.
