I have an MS Access table with a text column called Company, and it 
contains names like "Baca County", "Jefferson County", "Boulder County", 
etc. What I want to do is write an Access SQL query to return the names as 
"Baca", "Jefferson", "Boulder", etc.

I tried this:

SELECT LEFT(Company, SEARCH(" County", Company, 1)) as Name
FROM CCI_Contacts
WHERE Company LIKE "*County*";

and Access whines about an "undefined fucntion 'SEARCH' in expression,"  
yet SEARCH() is a string function that returns a number and is documented
in the online help. Anyone know what's wrong with this?
