I'm looking for a way to add a formula based upon a module function for a query. I have a text field which has random data. I need to pull out a po# from the text as a separate column. The PO# is suppose to be 8 digits long. However, sometimes depending on the source a leading 0 could get drop and be only 7. If two sets of 7 digits are found I'd like to pull the first set only. If the text field does not have a po# then leave null.
Field data could look like this:
1) po# 07641235
2) 7641235
3) ref num 07641235 for cust 1234
4) sales 01235 po# 7642315 for cust 9986
I'm using access 2003. I've tried several peices of code from the site but, no luck
