Remove leading zero

[gjproctor]

I am trying to remove the leading zeros from a 16 character text field. I
have tried using the val () funtion as well as the right () function. Each
time I run the query it asks for me to enter the "Parameter Value" and lists
the field name. I think I am querying an Oracle database if that makes a
difference.

Show us the SQL. Open the query in design view. Next go to View, SQL View
and copy and past it here.

Right([LOCATION].[CAR1_CAV_LOCINFODETL],8)

The above is backwards. It should be table name then field name like below:

Right([CAR1_CAV_LOCINFODETL].[LOCATION],8)

This works...Many thanks for the help.
