Hey All!!

I have a problem that hopefuly someone can help me with.  I have to unstring
a field, breaking at a character.  This is what I mean. I have a field
cominging in as 'Employee/1728347'.  I need to draw the number after the '/'
to a report.  The character length before the '/' is always going to be
different so I need something that will go through the string and get all
characters after the '/'.  Thanks
