Question : MS Access to do select statement with first three characters starting with ABC

HI

In MS Access how can I do a select statement that selects all fields that start with ABC?    I want to select these fields then chop off the ABC bit, ie do an update.

Ideally I want to just write pure SQL and use the expression builder

Answer : MS Access to do select statement with first three characters starting with ABC


here is the select query

select [Fieldname] from Tablex
where [FieldName] Like "ABC*"

to do an update removing the ABC part

update tableX
set [FieldName]=mid([FieldName],4)
where [FieldName] Like "ABC*"
