What if somebodys name is 'Master'? You should parse full name first.

>This isn't quite right. It replaces things like portions of tcName that I don't want it to. It strips the "Mr" but also the "Dr" and "Prof" portions. I think I have to do something more with the GetWordNum, but can't quite get it to work. Any help (yours, not the Foxpro) is appreciated.
