However when i try to use the left right functions it wont work. For example username = WallaceW468P01 Label1.caption = username - Left(username, 6) As you can see im trying to remove 468P01 from the name, and other usernames however the usernames are different lengths but it is always the last 6 characters i need to remove. I tried searching forum and couldn't find anything, appologies if i missed it. Im sure it is a simple mistake i am making please help!
