Solution 1

Use the SubString[^] method :)

--edit
The same method exists in Access, it's called the Mid function there. Enjoy your Googling :)

Solution 2

Use a substring function:

SELECT SUBSTRING('20090305', 5, 2)

TWo things

1 - please don't push 'answer' to ask more questions. Answer and question are opposites, not the same. Edit your post

2 - tag your question correctly. Your tag says SQL-Server, so you got the right answer for SQL-Server. You should have tagged it Access if you're using Access
