I have a field for a postcode. I'd like another field to auto contain an
'area' number, based on the first part (only) of the postcode. For example,
if a postcode LS4 4DJ was entered, another field would read the LS4 part and
enter '7' in that new field.
I have a table that contains an up to date list of just these first-part
postcodes...
Thanks,

I assume your second table (TblAreas) looks like
SmallPostCode Area
LS 7
CO 5
etc
Create a query (QSmallPostCode ) based on your table containing the post
codes containing the following
SmallPostCode:I If(Len([PostCode])>=2,Left$([PostCode],2),"")
This extracts the first 2 letters (nothing for a missing post code
Then create a second query based on TblAreas and QSmallPostCode with a left
join between the 2 SmallPostCode fields
See if that gets you on your way

Just use a case statement
Select Case Postcode
Case Trim(left(Postc ode,3))="LS4"
Area = 4
Case Trim(left(Postc ode,3))="LS5"
Area =5
Case.......
Area......
End Select

In the AfterUpdate event of the postcode field Try:-
Me.AreaCode = Mid(PostCode, 1, InStr(PostCode, " ") - 1)

Hi,
I'm getting as bit confused with my queries. I simply (!) want to insert a
space into a postcode field the 4th character from the right, so, for
example, ML201TQ becomes ML20 1TQ, which is the post offices format.
Unfortunately I've been given a database with postcodes that don't have this
space.
Thanks

I have a table of UK companies whose records I want to filter using a
map of postcode regions.
For the benfit of people outside the UK, our postcodes are a pain to
work with because they are not a standard length, and the part which
identifies the region isn't a standard length either.
The first letters of the postcode denotes a general region, and then
sub-regions are denoted by the following numbers and letters.

Hiya, I am trying to select based on a range on postcode on a table. The field POSTCODE is a varchar2(8).
The problem is when refinng on 'where postcode between 'PE1' and 'PE29'', because this is a character field and not a number field, 'PE3','PE4','PE5','PE6','PE7','PE8','PE9' are all ignored because the construct orders in characters and then numbers and as a result the query excludes it.
Can anyone provide some code to overcome this...

Hi,
I have a customer database in Access 2003 with customers postcodes.
What I want to do is type in a postcode on access and it will link the postcode on to googlemaps without having to type it in google map.
So far I just got the command button which opens the query for me to type a postcode and it just links to google map but doesnt carry on the search for the postcode I entered.
Hope this makes sense
