| Hi,
|
| I have about 1000 names in a field called full name.
| Most have first and last name but some have a middle
| initial with a period as well. What I would like to do
| is to split these into either two or three fields. Is
| there are way to split out a field every time there is a
| space? What I eventually want to end up with is a field
| for first and last name and to simply delete the middle
| initial.
|
| Thanks,
|
| Chuck
