ISSUE:

My users use abreviations when they type some things in.

I figured out how to use the "Substitute" function, but I can't seem to get it to replace more than one at a time example:

Field 1: We all say "TGIF" but some say "Agh". What do you say?

Field 2: We all say "Thank God it's Friday" but some say "Ahh Go HOME!". What do you say?

SETUP:

Administrators are able to enter in the acronyms in one field and what it should be in another.

FIELD 2 will then search the string and change out all the acronyms and display the correct results...

Can anyone help?

You either have to apply the Substitute function successively, or use nested Substitutes
