Just wanted to share a chuckle for me. I had a problem using a MID function to capture part of a string. I could have sworn I tried every way to fix it, but no luck. So I came here looking for help. Well, I wanted to be very clear in my question, so I start the post and walk through all of the possibilities. As I went down the list and making screen shots of results, I discovered I had apparently skipped one possibility, and that is the one that fixed my problem. So, even without anyone posting a reply, these forums solved my problem. Thanks!
