				What you need to do here is get every character of the string except the last one, then place the result of that back in to the string. To do this, use the Left$() function.
 
 
Left$("String", Length of the string - 1) will give the correct result, but I don't know the syntax offhand - you should be able to find this out by using Retrieve Data From an Object.
