How can I set this up:

I want to get the users 1st name and last Initial from the Username field.  So if the user is John Doe I get John D?

Thanks,

Greg

Dim fullname = "?????? ???????"     'This is your users name
Dim tempname
 tempname = Split(fullname," ")
Dim displayname
displaname = tempname(0) & " " & Left(tempname(1),1)

Now that works only with the user has no middle name. If he does you need to find the upbound of the array and take that for the left function.
