Need to know how to take a list of names all in one (1) field and seperate it out into Last, First, Middle. There's is a way to sort it to make it more "data friendly" Please help!!! Thank You!
 
If every entry is &quot;Fname Mname Lname&quot; export the list to a text file.&nbsp;&nbsp;Open it is Word and replace spaces with commas and do a &quot;Save As&quot; changing the name to a &quot;xxxx.csv&quot; type name.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Excel will now automatically load the new file into 3 columns. <p> Jeff<br><a href=mailto: masterracker@hotmail.com> masterracker@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br> Of all the things I've lost in life, I miss my mind the most ...
 
Just export the table to Excel. Insert about 5 columns to the right of the name column. Select the entire name column and hit Data-Text to columns. <p> <br><a href=mailto:techsupportgirl@home.com>techsupportgirl@home.com</a><br><a href= </a><br>
