I know this is probably something simple, but I tried googling it and didn't find anything. I have a field that has the phone and extension on in one.

How can I put a space after the phone number

This is what it looks like in my file....
215456700040081

I want it to look lik this...
2154567000 40081


This is what I tried to do...
left(c.CorrespondancePhone, 10)

if ext is always at the end and is of five digit then

declare @a varchar(20)
SET @a='215456700040081'
SELECT Replace(@a,Right(@a,5),'')+' '+Right(@a,5)

Thanks I will try that. I am not sure if the ext will only ever be 5 digits.
