I've got a table that contains the first letters of a postcode e.g. S or LN, also stored is city/town e.g. Sheffield or Lincoln and finally area. So basically its a very simple postcode lookup table. I want to link this to my customer files that have postcodes, however the postcodes in the customer files are in normal format e.g. LN4 3RN, so I only really need the first 1 or 2 characters. To link the fields.
Idea, create a new column in customer table and some how (the bit I need help with) automatically transfer the first letters of the full postcode into this column and apply to all those already in and future entries into the table. Thanks for any help, much appreciated. Rob
