Tamar,

Thanks :) Obviously I read your response after Boris'.

This definitely did the trick!

I was wondering if you could please elaborate a little more as to why this resolved the issue. I'm not following why padding the result of LEFT() would produce more than the first two characters.

Laterness,
Jon
