I was wondering if anyone knew of an Access formula that I can use in a field
that would return the following statement if true.

*if the records in field XX contain any numerical values give me this……..if
not then return all the records in field XX

Basically I want the formula to recognize any numerical values and give it a
name that's dependent on the value of another table if not then return just

In Access, tables store data.

To do the kind of analysis/conversion you describe, consider using a query.

Create a tblDigits with field Digit containing 0 (zero) through 9 (nine).
Add it to your query like this --
SELECT TableA.Title, InStr([TableA].[Title],[tblDigits].[Digit]) AS Expr1
FROM TableA, TableA AS tblDigits
GROUP BY TableA.Title, InStr([TableA].[Title],[tblDigits].[Digit]);
