Cathy,

Your best bet is probably to use the MID function and pull the data out to
compare to your criteria.  That should give you better results.

Thanks, trying it, but don't have my syntax right, not working yet.  Tried
to replace ="*0*" with Is Like *0*, but won't accept that.

If it makes a difference, I don't need the * wildcard.  Was just using it
because I was not getting any results on "00", which is the actual data I
want to convert, but those results are even worse.  Is it because the
results are mixed alpha/numeric?  Thanks, Cathy

Cathy, if you want to use the wildcard character, I believe you need to use
the Like operator.  If you use the * without the Like operator it is
looking
for the literal string.  Try changing your = to a Like and you should have
better luck.

I'm trying to convert a 2 character field based on a value.  My query picks
off positions 5 and 6 of a 10-11 character alpha/numeric string.  Sometimes
the 2 digits are 00, though I'm not sure access is reading them as zero,
since it is alpha/numeric mix and some results are 00, some are
combinations of letters.  I'm trying to convert this 2 character  result to
always use the CID field unless it contains 00, then use the SiteID field.
Here is my formula:

CID_CV: IIf(([CID])="*0*",[SiteID],[CID])

It is not changing the value to SiteID, it is staying 00.  Where am I going
wrong?  Thank you, Cathy
