Nope, it's one of those functions that does not work in Access. Just like SET, or @@Identity, or a few others I can't think of right now :)

I'm not altogether positive that the SUBSTRING( ) function works in Access - never tried it. However, the syntax you entered before is practially letter for letter like the examples in SQL servers documentation. Maybe someone else out there can verify if SUBSTRING( ) is valid in Access?
