Sorry guys my first post on here. I'll try to be better the next time. Thanks for all your help!

Understood. Please see the first link under "Helpful Links" in my signature line below for what we're talking about. It can really help a whole lot. Some folks actually get angry when we ask them to do such a thing. We're just trying to help.

Hope this should work.

DECLARE @a varchar(20) = 'INV CRT IS15000467 1'

DECLARE @b-2 varchar(20) = 'INV CSH IS15000442 10'

select substring(stuff(@a, 1,Charindex(' ',@a, Charindex(' ',@a,0)+1),''),0, Charindex(' ', stuff(@a, 1,Charindex(' ',@a, Charindex(' ',@a,0)+1),'')))

select substring(stuff(@b, 1,Charindex(' ',@b, Charindex(' ',@b,0)+1),''),0, Charindex(' ', stuff(@b, 1,Charindex(' ',@a, Charindex(' ',@b,0)+1),'')))
