No I can't pad the shorter ones because there may an MID there as that number.
When I say that 55555 should be 555855 I mean the right MID is the latter but I get it as the first (55555). I then need to find the 555855 some how. I could set up a table with the wrong MID in one field and the right MID in another filed but I don't always know what the wrong number will come accross as.
Thanks in advance for your help! :-)
