So, run this for each word in the name instead of the whole name? Yeah, but that assumes that prefix is always in the beginning and suffix is always at the end. It's not always the case. "Proffler, Mr., Droopy" would not work. Maybe I'll just drop "Master" from the list.

>>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.
