I have an access database that I want to run an internal update query that looks for a specific snipitt of text and removes just that. How would I do that?

Thanks

You can do it with access, check out the string functions here:

You can also use ASP functions to manipulate the string from a query:

If you want to start using the database in other ways look into using MSSQL 2005 Express - it free and has most of the features of the $$$ version. You can use access as a front end and upload your access dbs to SQL server real easy, you will be glad you took the time.
