[AccessD] Parsing data

Might I suggest my cStringEx class (see Many to Many Feb. 2002 Issue http://www.databaseadvisors.com/newsletters.htm )?  You can get the values using it like this:

<snip>
dim oStringEx as New cStringEx
dim sVal1 as String
dim sVal2 as String
	ostringEx.Value = "test--data1"
	sVal1 = oStringEx.SubStringBefore("--") 'returns "test"
 	sVal2 = oStringEx.SubStringAfter("--") 'returns "data1"
</snip>

You'll have to write me offline for the most current version if you're interested though (the link to the code no longer works because Brinkster.com no longer gives direct access to files stored there).

Hello All,

In A97 I need to seperate some data into 2 fields...ex:
"test--data1"
