Hej

Would like to have som help with this. Please give me an example of sql statement.

I have field1.

Pelle T3333
Kalle S1000
Info missing
Pelle Svensson T33333
Bad info

and want this result after the selectstatement.

Pelle
Kalle
Info missing
Pelle Svensson
Bad info

which means that I dont want to have the last word in this field except 'Info missing' and 'Bad info'. These two should remain unchanged, but all other should not have the last word .

Thanksin advance

Roland S
