Frazer Posted November 24, 2000 Share Posted November 24, 2000 Is there anyway I can run a calculation which looks at a field and copies across the first letter of each word? In essence I have a field of names and I want to run a calc which will convert this into initials. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dspires Posted November 24, 2000 Share Posted November 24, 2000 If your field is "Name", the this will do it: Left(LeftWords(Name,1),1) & Left(MiddleWords(Name,2,1),1) & Left(MiddleWords(Name,3,1),1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaughan Posted December 1, 2000 Share Posted December 1, 2000 Not all names are in "First Middle Last" format, so this will not be reliable under all circumstances. Ideally the first middle and last names should be in separate fields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
