	use instr() to find the location of the character in the string and then mid() to start looking at the field after that. something like mid(field,instr(field,"-")+1)

	Another way to do it might be to do something like this: StringVar Array sa := split({myTable.myField}, '_'); if (uBound(sa) > 1) then sa[2] else sa[1] This splits the string into an array of strings based on the location of the '_' character and then returns the second element which should be the string after the '_' character. -Dell
