>I have a table called pnltemp. The store column is defined as CHAR(4). I am wanting to scan through the entire table and strip off the leading character. I am using the following code, but for some reason it is not working properly (does it for maybe 4 of the 70 entries):

Providing the leading character is always the left most character, try:

Store2 = RIGHT(Store, 3)

Even better try:
SELECT pnltemp
REPLACE ALL Store WITH RIGHT(Store, 3)

but only if you test it first!
