I have a NAME field that consistes of a person's full name (first, middle, last) separated by spaces. I want to separate the NAME field into FNAME, LNAME, and MNAME fields. My problem is that the names are of variable lengths so I can't use the right, left, or substring functions. I know there is a way of doing it but I haven't figured it out yet. Thanks for the help.

Are you doing an Active X?
If so you could try spliting the string on the commas into an array.
arryTemp=split(NameField,",")
Any chance to have the file better formatted before it gets to you?

This is a cross post!
I think Jonathan gave an excellent solution here
