You are never assigning a value to the Function, so it doesn't
return a value. You need some code in the function like

Initials = SInit

Thanks. But when I plug in the function procedure, it doesn't
work (See
below)
Am I asking it to do too much?

Function Initials(SName As msForms.TextBox) As String
Dim SInit As String
Dim j As Long
Dim sLetter As String

SInit = Left(SName, 1)
j = 1
While j 0
j = InStr(j, SName, " ")
If j Then
SInit = SInint & Mid(SName, j + 1, 1)
j = j + 1
End If
Wend
End Function

Try something like

Function Test(TBX As MSForms.TextBox) As String
Test = TBX.Text
End Function

You can then call this with code like

MsgBox Test(Me.TextBox1)

textbox as the
argument?
