Parsing Name Field Issues
I have researched and tried to back into a solution to no avail. Previously I had help here learning how to unconcatenate last and first name when name is all in one field, example "Smith Sr,John A" The last name parse works well, it even keeps the suffix if they are present (e.g. "Smith Sr")...- gammyb

Unconcatenate Last Name, First Name Middle Initial
I also need to unconcatenate a name field, and last name per surfbum3000's example works great, but I can't get the first name to work. The format of my name field is: Lastname,Firstname no space after the comma. So, for last name, this string works: LastName: Left([name],InStr([name],",")-1)...- gammyb
