Parsing data from ACT database
Hi,
I need to parse the name field from an ACT database. I am able to break up
this name(which is in one field) - Mr.{*filter*} S. Van{*filter*} Sr. - into seperate
strings. I use the Instr function to find the spaces and put each piece into a
string. However, if you do a look up in ACT, it somehow knows that Van{*filter*} is
the last name. The salutation, first name, middle initial and generation are
easy to find from the main string, however, I am having a hard time figuring
out how to find the two-part last name. Would anybody know how ACT does this
or have any ideas how I should go about doing this?
Thanks,
Keith
