how to delete and insert in a two cells merge using Access 2003?
 

I want to merge a column of names to a column of 10 digit mobile numbers; but
in doing so I need to delete "0" (the first digit) before adding "44" to the
front ot the remaining 9. I know of the "=A1& " "&B1" formula, but it does
not do the necessary deletion and insertion I need to do. Any help?

This is an Excel news Group and you are asking about Access 2003.

I will assume a typo................

Would be nice to see an example of before and after but perhaps something
like this?

=A1 & " " & "44" & RIGHT(B1,9)
