I am working on a political campaign management app. The thing I need to do is post reports that identify the even and odd numbers on a given street. I inherited the db and have freedom to change it (it was written by amateurs and they know it and there are no hard feelings if I make a change, insofar as said change increases productivity). So... given a current field called StreetAddress, I want to break it into two fields, StreetNumber and StreetAddress, so that I can filter the even numbers for one report and the odd numbers for an identical report. How can I intelligently extract the data and populate my new columns? Example data: 123 Normal Street ' easy 234A Abnormal Street ' a tad trickier 2333-1070 Queen Street ' the 2333 part should fall into the StreetNumber field and the rest into the StreetAddress field. Any clever ideas how I might achieve this? TIA, Arthur
