Thanks Kim and Ray...
I was littlebit curious, if a specific function exists that can find a substring anywhere in the whole field and if found, I need to concatenate 4 other fields...
but I can use Index() in a stage variable and work it out..

Thanks again...

Can we use Index function even If we dont know where exactly the string in the field is ..?

ex: I am looking for a string 'CARE' in "THE HEART CARE CENTER INC"

Thanks
