need to sort part numbers that have various prefixes

Hi group,

Brand new here.

I have a project where we are working with a lot of part numbers. The numbers have some prefixes that appear and then don't appear though each part number has in common a number sequence that follows.

Is there a way in access to ignore certain letters and numbers (the prefix items0 and sort based on the other numbers?

Your help is most appreciated,

James

Yes, There is the function Mid() ;)

You can type in your query the next:
New_part_N: Mid([My_part_number],3, len([My_part_number]))

So this gets the information from the 3-th symbol to the length of your part number! :)
