I have the following in a text box field:

=IIf([Comp Entered By] Is Null,"",Left([Comp Entered By],1) & Mid([Comp
Entered By],InStr(1,[Comp Entered By],",")+2,1))

the field "Comp Entered By" is based off of a lookup table of names.

I want the above code to only give me the initials of any given name like:

Christian Many would be CM and the above code is giving me Ch.

What should I change on the above code?

Thanks in advance

Assuming a max of two words, and exactly one space between first and last word.

Left([Comp Entered By],1) &
MID([Comp Entered By],Instr(1,[Comp Entered By]," ")+1,1)

IF you have more than two words (names) in the field then you have to decide
what you want to do. Oscar de la Renta, Mary Jo Kopechne, Mary Anne Smythe
