    How can I extract a first and last name from a combined name field in this format: “Lastname, first name”?

      Something like this:

      Dim pos as integer

      pos = instr(FullName, “,”)

      FirstName = Left(FullName,pos-1)
      LastName = Trim( Mid(FullName,pos+1) )

    You can use BBCodes to format your content.
    Your account can't use all available BBCodes, they will be stripped before saving.
