February 4, 200521 yr Newbies I have an identifier that I want to generated based on other information entered. It seems redundant and chancy to make the user create the identifier when they have to enter in the other info. Example: FirstName: Mary LastName: Watson SSN: 123-45-6789 resulting identifyer: WM6789 I know how to concatonate, I just don't know how to extract precise data from a field. Help please? -parima
