Selecting a letter within a sequence

If I have an element named "Sequence" which contains a series of letters i.e. AABAAC and an element "Next_Service" which will contain a number i.e. 3, is it possible to program a third element to show the third letter in the first element i.e. "B" ?

Thanks for any ideas Smiley

Don

ThirdElement = @Mid(Sequence, Next_Service, 1)

Many thanks, works like a dream Smiley  The @Mid is new to me, I missed it when I read through the programming guide.
