My typo. Application.split should just be Split.

This worked fine for me (xl2003)

Sub abc()
Dim cell As Range, sStr As String
For Each cell In Selection
v = Split(cell, ",")
sStr = Trim(Trim(v(UBound(v))) & " " & Trim(v(LBound(v))))
cell.Value = sStr
Next

End Sub


Note that split is not provided in xl97 and earlier.

I got a run time error (438: Object doesn't support this property of
method)
on the line Application.Split.

I'll ultimately want to be able to identify the column of names within a
list of information and then switch the names.
The names are usually, but not always, in Column A, so the code will need
to
look for one of two words, "Name" or "Instructor," and then switch the
names
in every record.

How robust does it need to be

Dim cell as Range, sStr as String
for each cell in Selection
v = Application.Split(cell,",")
sStr = Trim( trim(v(Ubound(v))) & " " & trim(v(Lbound(v))))
cell.Value = sStr
Next

Does anyone have a routine that can take a list of names entered as
"Lastname, Firstname" and change those names to "Firstname Lastname"
within
the same cells?

Thanks,
