Hello,

I have a simple table.  One field (CustomerID) in that table contains 11
characters.  I've created a report that shows the various fields I need, but
I only need to show the first 5 characters from the CustomerID field.  How
would I go about this?  

Thank you!

Try this in the field

=Left([CustomerID],5)

Or in a query
Select Left([CustomerID],5) As NewName From TableName
