Append only part of field record

[lassang01]

I have an MS Access DB and I want to run an append query that can only
append a part of specific field.
I my case field "X" in DB1 have all values starting with (166-) for
example 166-1235, 166-1234...etc
What I would like is that I could only append the values 1235,
1234...etc to field"Y" in DB2.
I hope I will get assistance.
Thanks in advance.

In the Select part of the append query, use an expression
like Mid(X, 5) instead of just X
