I am trying to create an input mask for a name field. I have Spanish names with two last names separated by a hyphen, a comma after the two last names, a space, and then the First Name a space and the Middle Name. The First Last Name needs to be in all capitals like the example. Example: NARANJO-Ramirez, Jose Luis

Can someone please help me format this mask. One trick is that there aren't always middle names. Since all parts of the name are different lenghts for everybody, I need to have an optional number of characters for each of the four parts of the name.

Thanks for your help.
 
Is it necessary to do it like this?
Can't you have separate fields for each name?
LastName
FirstName
MiddleName
 
fields in tables should be the smallest possible value, Name is never a good field because it can be broken down further ... in your case you should have:
LastName
LastName2
FirstName
MiddleName

You can then concatinate them in any form, query, or report to have them show as you would want them formatted to read.
