Sounds like they are characters, not numbers. You may also have to
convert, after stripping, to a numeric data type. Your expression might
look something like:
Expr1: CInt(Mid([YourField],2))
Good luck

Hi Jeff, Thanks for your reply. The character is properly stripped from
the ID, however when i sort the results in an "ascending" fashion, they
begin with 1, then follow with 10, 100, 1000, 1001... and so on. How is
it that I can sort them sequencially?
Thanks,

Look into using the Mid() function to start at position #2 and use the
remainder. A query that includes something like:
Expr1: Mid([YourField],2)
would return all the characters after the first one. You could then
sort on that field in the query.
Good luck

Hello,
I have a field that has a has a sequencial numbering system that
began a A1 and is currently at A2500. I need to be able to sort these
numerically when the form opens. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
