Hi,

I have an xls *** that i have outputted from a Access database.

I find that one field that i need to work with has been given a "`" in
front of it... ie instead of 3... it will have a `3

now i need to do various mathematical equations on these fields and it
wont let me do it while the ` is present. As it is a extremely large
spread*** 40 thousand + i was wondering if there is a quick way to
remove this character? ie get rid of first character?

cheers
