I have a quick question for you guys, i have a field in the .asp called 'contact_id' which displays the 'contact' description which is an email address i.e. 'hounslow.education@primetime.co.uk'
However is it possible to just display the 'hounslow.education' part leaving off the '@primetime.co.uk' ??? This will be used as a reference for the record?
Thanks in advance 
p.s. I am using ASP and MySQL

Hello,
you can copy the part of the string and display it as field value. Use InStr and Mid functions, e.g.:
pos = InStr(fldcontact_id, "@")
if not isEmpty(pos) then
fldcontact = Mid(fldcontact, 1, pos)
end if

Nicole,
You really are a star you know.... however, where does this script need to go and is the example you gave going to work directly or are there parts i will need to tweak?

The code should be added to BeforeShow event (sorry, forgot to mention it:))
It's almost cut'n'paste. The only thing that may be changed is field name. I used "contact_id". Use the field name you've added to the form.

Nicole,
This doesn't seem to be working the field is 'contact_id', but it displays 'contact' and it is the 'contact' part i want to shorten from:
hounslow.education@primetime.co.uk
TO
hounslow.education
I added your script as is to the Before Show Event and nothing seems to happen... have you any ideas why? :) please pretty please.....
