Does anyone know if how to Trim alpha-numeric characters from the left of a returned recordset?Eg
The recordset returns the string '1GK' but I only want to show 'GK' on the webpage.
Thanks

I don't get it. You want to trim alpha-numeric? That means you'll lose all ALPHA-bets and NUMERIC (numbers) and be left with nothing.....
am I missing something?

Use a Nested replace statement
Replace (StringtoSearch,StringtoFind,StringtoReplaceWith)
Replace (SampleCode, 1, '')
Replace (SampleCode, 2, '')
Well you get the idea
Now do that for every possible number...
Wait I have this same problem....
