Microsoft calls it
Title Of Courtesy

PaulF

 

[nickjar2]

Salutation?

 

[Dreamboat]

Yeah, I thought of that too, Nick, but that's really "Dear Bob", or just the "Dear" part.

I'll take Paul's advice. THANKS!!

Surely that would be JobTitle ??

 

[CosmoKramer]

PersonTitle

 

[ThomMenzies]

Mr.
Ms.
Mrs.
Dr.

would be title or personal title whereas

Sr. is a suffix

 

[Guest_imported]

I usually call it a prefix. Then I have the 3 name fields, first, middle, last, then the suffix.

 

[KengLG]

Honorific?

 

[Chance1234]

People who are insercure and have to use a prefix, title or suffix before or after there name to feel important and not to be included on my christmas card list ?

 

[JoyInOK]

I've used Title in code, but make sure you change the label to say "Mr./Mrs./Dr." or something similar, or your users will put all kinds of stuff in there (Jr., Receptionist, Grandmother, etc).

Thom: I meant Sr. as in Sister. You know: Sister Mary Kate or whatever.

bonrus: I like prefix, too.

JoyInOK: Got ya.

The DB is a non-prof organization (I think) and it isn't mine. If they want that field, I guess they get it. I definitely question some of their tables, tho. You should see it. YUK!
