Auto Fill Last Name and First Name (1 Viewer)

[GPGeorge]

There are many instances of this with authors' names, e.g. F Scott Fitzgerald, H Rider Haggard (though I did come across one edition of 'She' were the authorship is given as Henry Haggard). In bibliographical contexts I generally use a single Author column with the full name by which they are generally known.

I've deployed a library catalog app to a non-profit. I didn't cater for this approach to author names. In hindsight, it could have been a better approach, albeit it would add to the complexity of the task to have to do contains searches on Author names to find variations. That might get more problematic if the number of volumes in the library gets very large.

If I deploy a second version to another group with which I'm discussing the proposal, I will have to give serious thought to this approach.

Bloody autocorrect.
Her name is S.Epatha Merson.

In the early days of spell checking we fed all our names in the family into a document to see what it came up with. My wife Fiona Sheridan was changed to Viola shredding!

And does she play? If so, spell check recommends she perform some Vivaldi!
