I want to pull out all the entries on a table where a specific field is over 200 characters. I'm sure there must be a really simple way to do this that I'm just not thinking of, anyone got any ideas?

Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
I was just about to come back and post that myself as I'd worked it out. Thanks, giacomo! Of course I would actually use:

"select from someTable where len([someField]) > 200"

as I wanted the fields with more than 100 characters.
