Print First Character of 30 Byte Field on Report

[Brad]

We have an Access 2007 Report that current pulls many fields from a database
table.

We need to add one additional field to this report, but we only want to
print the first byte of this new field.

Is this possible?

Thanks,

Brad

You can use an expression as the control's control source
=Left([SomeField],1)
Make sure there is no control in the report that has the same name as the name
of the field.

Did you try Left([YourField],1) ?

John and Karl,

Thanks for the assistance, I appreciate it.

=Left([Web_Order_Account_Rep],1) works nicely!

Thanks again,

Brad
