Look at the Left, Mid, Right, Instr and Len functions in the Help file. An
example of how they would be used is:
Me!SomeField = Left([MyInputTextString],3)
You would probably execute this code in the AfterUpdate event of SomeField.

Using an Input Form, I'd like to split an input field value (text string)
into smaller substrings and automatically insert the substrings into other
fields in the same database record. Anyone have any suggestions on how
this could be done?
Thanks,
George
