I am trying to use an Instr as part of the 3rd argument<br>or condition of a Dlookup but cannot get the syntax to <br>work right.&nbsp;&nbsp;Has anyone had any luck doing this?<br><br>Thanks,<br>Keith

No problem<br>First create a query which has the Instr function as a calculated field. Then use DLookup on the query using this calculated field in the criteria argument(the third one)
