The "OOOPS" message confirmed that I had corrected my mistake. It showed the original message and the corrected version.

Thanks for the support.

What do you mean by "failed miserably"?

Based on your values, your expression should have worked. I think we are missing part of the puzzle.

Robin,
Could you provide a variety of actual first name values?

OOOPS!


Initial:Left([mFirstName],1)

That's better.

Cheers,

I need to extract the initial from the first names in a member directory.

I tried using this in a query - Initial=Left([mFirstName],1) and
failed miserably.

What have I missed?

Many thanks,

Robin Chapple
