We already have the data base and I understand what you are telling me to do;
however, I am not familiar with the "TextToColumns" feature or the "MID"
formula. Where would I find this and can you suggest a good question to ask
Mr. Wizard Help? Thank you for your time.

If you have not created the DataBase yet, then by all means use separate
columns for the first and last names.......it's so much better in the long
run........if you already have such a list, then it's best to separate it
with the "TextToColumns" feature or the "MID" formula..............

If I create a data base with a name cell that includes both the first and
last name, can I sort by the first letter of the last name?
