Hello David,

looks good to me.
I will try it out tomorrow at work.

Thanks

Pedro

If this looks good:
SELECT Concl, 
Mid([Concl],InStr(1,[Concl],"(")+1,InStr(InStr(1,[Concl],"("),[Concl],")")-2)
AS Expr1
FROM YourTable
WHERE (((Concl) Like "*(*)*"));

you can do it like this:
UPDATE YourTable SET YourTable.fldSelection =
Mid([Concl],InStr(1,[Concl],"(")+1,InStr(InStr(1,[Concl],"("),[Concl],")")-2)
WHERE (((YourTable.Concl) Like "*(*)*"));
