Hi All,

I have a query setup to pull a field called "Country" into my database that feeds from a linked spreadsheet.

Countries appear as follows

- UK(XX)
- France(XX)
- Belgium (XX)

How do I remove the (XX) from each country?

When they said...
When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
If you are trying to remove it from the Access table, open up the table, highlight the column, and select Find/Replace from the Find ribbon on the Home menu.
Then, replace (XX) with nothing. Be sure to select the "Any Part of Field" from the Match selection.
