How will your code split these two names (both are friends of mine)?

I'd be interested in your remark (snide or otherwise)... did my posting not
point out a problem with the OP's approach (and which, in its own way, backed up your suggestion that the OP should consider putting the names in separate fields)? -- Rick (MVP - Excel) "gls858" wrote in message ...

Nope you are absolutely correct! My comment would have been about the OP already having his mind made up. Your comment was much more useful since it gave an example of the problems the OP would face with his method. gls858 |
