>>>>My brain must be fried today or something. What is the command to obtain the location of the rightmost character(other than a space) in a field. Example, a 25 character field with city and state separated by a space between city and state. If I grab the last two valid characters in the field, I have the state. I can't use the AT function because some cities are two words.

Now that I think about it, I'll use the first one. I can charge more money for it because it looks more complex!
