Is the problem the actual join syntax or the fact that there will never be a match in the two fields? I'm guessing it's the latter, and if that's the case, you could use a query expression to return just the variable-length string (minus the suffix), and then join on that field. Sorry if I'm not understanding the problem. Susan H. Group, I have two tables I would like to join. Tbl1.Fld1 contains a variable-length string, Tbl2.Fld2 contains the same variable-length string concatenated with a variable-length suffix. Any suggestions on how to proceed? Is there an elegant solution?
