Hi all. I am have a little trouble. I have a column in my data set that is formatted below:

I need to pull only the text out in between the two dashes.
I think this is all the info you need but please let me know!

Try this:
Code: 
Trim(Mid([MyField],InStr([MyField],"-")+1,InStrRev([MyField],"-")-InStr([MyField],"-")-1))
where MyField is the name of your field.
