Anyone know how I can do an advanced filter that will find all records that have 5 characters or less in a text column?

TIA
 
You can do this through a query but I don't think you can do it through a filter.

Hope this helps.

Ok thanks. Can you tell me what I would place in the Criteria to do this query?

Thank you!
 
For the field you would enter Len(Field1) AS Length Then under that in the Criteria you simply enter 5.


Hope this helps.
