I'm trying to create a power field for a colleague which will return the filename without the .lwp suffix.

I have tried two approaches :-

a)left(filename,position(filename,'.',1)-1)

b) left(filename,len(filename)-4)

In each case, I am getting error messages. The help file is no help whatever with the excat details.

I'd be grateful if anyone could tell me what I am doing wrong .
