Duane-
I agree, but I was just providing another option. Robin may not have much
flexibility with the data on the server.

John,
I like your solution but prefer the data only method since it is upsizeable to
SQL Server and we can't be sure of the character pattern(s).
Perhaps we can discuss this over dinner and a glass of wine tomorrow night (if
our wives don't object ;-)

Or just write a function:
Public Function FindGroupName(strURL As String) As String
Dim intI As Integer, strWork As String
' Find the start of the search string:
intI = InStr(strURL, ".au/clubs/atoc/")
' Strip off the front end
strWork = Mid(strURL, intI + 15)
' find the ending "/"
intI = InStr(strWork, "/")
' Return the name
FindGroupName = Left(strWork, intI - 1)
End Function
Now write your query:
SELECT FindGroupName(qStatsYTD.Page) As ClubName, Sum(qStatsYTD.Visitors)
FROM qStatsYTD
GROUP BY FindGroupName(qStatsYTD.Page)

Robin,
That's what I was afraid of. I'm not sure why you break the table apart and then
attempt to put it back together again.
You could just store values of folder names like "au/clubs/atoc/Albury/" with a
title field in another table and build a totals query. Set the criteria under
Page to
Like "*" & [Your Folder Name Field] & "*"
Group by [Your folder Title field].
This solution uses one extra table of data that puts maintenance where it
belongs (in your table, not in code or expressions). You can add, remove, or
edit records as you modify your website pages.
Don't work so hard. Life is too short.

They are analysis of pages counted from a website. All from the same table.
Each query counts pages visited in a given folder.
Two examples:
SELECT qStatsYTD.StatsID, qStatsYTD.Page, qStatsYTD.Visitors
FROM qStatsYTD
WHERE (((qStatsYTD.Page) Like "*.au/clubs/atoc/Albury/*"));
SELECT qStatsYTD.StatsID, qStatsYTD.Page, qStatsYTD.Visitors
FROM qStatsYTD
WHERE (((qStatsYTD.Page) Like "*.au/clubs/atoc/AlburyHume/*"));
