I currently have a table of information in access that I need to query certain fields with. &nbsp;<br />

The issue is that I can not define a field length for the query's results.<br />
For example: <br />
Lname must have a field length of 30 regardless of use<br />
TermHrs must have a field length of 3 regardless of use<br />
<br />
I've tried left(), mid(), right(), substr()...and none of them have worked. &nbsp;
