NGTLD,
OK, then you would want to add the UDF RegExpFind from my article to a regular module in your VBA project.
You could then use it in a query like this:
SELECT YourColumn, RegExpFind([YourColumn], "\d+(\.\d+)?", 1) AS Whatever
FROM YourTable
or:
UPDATE YourTable
SET YourColumn = RegExpFind([YourColumn], "\d+(\.\d+)?", 1)
