Re: [MS_AccessPros] Splitting Full Name

 

James-

Sure!

UserID: Left([FullName], Instr([FullName], " ") - 1)

FirstName: Mid([Fullname], Instr([Fullname], " ") + 1)

LastName: Mid([FullName], InstrRev([FullName], " ") + 1)

The Instr function finds the first location of the specified character scanning from the left.  The InstrRev function finds the first location (from the left) of the specified character while scanning from the right.

Thank you very much John. It splits the name as required.

Sorry to bother you again. Can it be modified to split three items where the userid is concatenated to the Full name? E.g.

0050410 Vincent Ramsein
