Thanks for your help. I am not familiar with the Dlookup function. If I
created a table with the area codes and timezones. What would be the
expression I have to enter in the query?
I know sometimes the area code is not the best way to do things but it does
not need to be perfect.
I'd use one of two options:
1. In your Query, Join the timezone table to the table containing area codes,
by area code. Since I cannot see the structure of either table from my current
vantage point I don't know how to do so.
2. On your Form or Report, use
=DLookUp("[timezone]", "tablename]", "[areacode] = '" & Left([Phone], 3) &
"'")
assuming that you have a field Phone for which the first three characters are
the area code.
Since, again, you haven't posted any information about your tables, this is
just a place to get started.
