How to strip string characters from a data field

[rew2009]

I have a form where I am displaying string data in a text box. I tried using a command button with the following code from vb to strip the first two characters and display the result in a second textbox:

Dim strImagenumber As String

' StripLeftNCharacters("123456789", 3) = "456789"

strImagenumber = StripLeftNCharacters(Me.Text454.VALUE, 2)

Me.Text629.VALUE = strImagenumber

Does access use the vb function "StripLeftNCharacters", if it does is my syntax wrong, and if it doesn't what is the correct code?

Thanks, Russ

In this case, teh Mid function should suit:

Mid(strImagenumber,3)
