Hi Kevlray,

I have a need to do something which I believe is similar to what you've created here.  I have a variable sized field which ends with an account number.  I need to report on all records where the account number begins with an '8', which will always be in the 10th position from the right.  Is there a way, starting from the end of the field, to check the 10th position to see if it is an '8'?  I've been playing around with the right() function but not getting the results I need.  

Thanks!

Right is the way to go, but you have to use the length of the string -10 (i.e., right({somestring},len(somestring)-10) )
