    Windows 2k Media Player

    Hi there, My Win 2k professional has turned off all sound and greyed out the button enabling volume control in the media icon. I thought it might have had something to do with Win Media player hotfixes, so I removed them and still cannot get the sound back. Thanks any help in advance.

    MS Access 2k Not Updating

    Name Splitter Problem

    Tks your input. Yes it is easier to manually correct legitimate 2 char names (or later make an exception condition). In above example Ann Marie Smith correctly returns "AM Smith" but for rawdata AB Smith code returns Inits ="A" 1stname="AB" and Surname="Smith". In other words code is...
