Graham,

I copied this from something written (I think) by Ron Rosenfield but if I've
credited the wrong person then apologies to the original author.

Put this UDF in a general module

Function Firsts(str As String) As String
part = Split(Trim(str))
For x = 0 To UBound(part)
Firsts = Firsts & Left(part(x), 1)
Next
End Function


Call with =Firsts(A1)
where A1 is the string you want the first letters of.

I would value any help.
