I would like to have a query replace a NULL in  a field with a truncated value 
from one field based on a size passed in?

Basically, I'd like to be able to generate a 'short title' for a record based 
on either the user's input for  a short title, or a turncated 'normal title' at 
query time. 

Would this be very expensive processor timewise?

I might just feed the whole long title in and have the display properties of 
the browser truncate it.
