I have a field wich is called "Totalname". That field contains surnames.
What I need is to have the two last letters of each word of that field into
another new field which I'll name it"Newfield". Can someone help me please.
Thanks
Jimmy
 
Hi Jimmy:

Do you wish to have the last 2 letters of each record's [Totalname] field
placed into [Newfield], or does Totalname have several words? For example,
if you have John Doe MD, you want "MD"? or "hnoeMD"? The former is easy-
just do a [Newfield] = Right([Totalname], 2); with the latter I'd do
something like-

Dim ii As Integer, value As String, xx As String, yy As String
xx = ""
value = [Totalname]
For ii=1 to Len(value)
yy = Mid(value, ii, 1)
If yy <> " " Then
xx = xx + yy
Else ' word separator " "
If isnull([newfield1]) then
[NewField1] = Right(xx,2) ' s.a. the first name's last 2 digits
else
If IsNull([NewField2]) Then
[NewField2] = Right(xx,2) ' s.a. the last name's last 2 digits
Else
[NewField3] = Right(xx,2) ' s.a. the title's last 2 digits
End If
End If
End If
Next i

That's it... should work without too many bugs... 8-)

Thank you for your answer Al. My situation is the "hnoeMD"? So which code
should I use?

Hi Jimmy:

You only have to change this code snippet to the following (everything else
is OK):

Dim ii As Integer, value As String, xx As String, yy As String
xx = ""
value = [Totalname]
For ii=1 to Len(value)
yy = Mid(value, ii, 1)
If yy <> " " Then
xx = xx + yy
Else ' word separator " "
yy = IIf(IsNull([NewField]), "", [NewField])
[NewField] = yy & Right(xx,2)
End If
Next i

Now that should do it!

Al

Hi Jimmy:

You could write it numerous events- I would probably consider a clickbutton
event, into a doubleclick event of a textbox.
