I need to create a query that removes the last 4-digits code on a field.

Please help.
 
Is your field a set number of digits? If so use an update field and just
update it to the left XX digits. If the format is variable, it is still
possible, but you have to grab the number of digits, subtract four, and then
grab those.

=Left([somefieldname],10)

would give you the left 10 digits.
