Sounds like you need to use InStr or InStrRev.

something like

Left([MyField],InStr(1,[MyField],"/")-1)

...record field in table has a data string formatted like "city, state,
zip
/country" (without quotes)
...need to run an update query to remove the " /country" from each
record
where "country" can be any length
...any ideas appreciated :)
