Hello,
I have a field called *StreetName* which has the complete street name.
This includes: the number (like 1500), the prefix (like N), the actual
name (like Main), and sometimes two words that are ALSO the name like
(Betty Ford), and then the suffix (like Blvd.). One other thing, there
are also instances where the prefixes and/or suffixes might be ambiguous
(missing the periods) eg. St vs St., or Blvd vs. Blvd.
I would like to extract just the name(s) from the field in a select
query. So for example, if the query encountered a field* entry like:
"1500 N. Betty Ford Blvd." would be only return "Betty Ford" in the
dynaset.
How can I write the query so that it will only select the name(s) and
leave out the other values?
* BTW; what is the correct terminology for this entity, i.e. field
value, field entry, or what?
TIA.
Phil.
