Re: Parsing Names...

["David Turnidge" <daveturnidge@xxxxxxxxx>]

Francis,

Your routine was GREAT!! I have nearly completed the task, but the LAST FILE
to be converted is 90+% upper case. Now I looking to find if anyone has
created a routine to lower case names with smarts about "McDonald" type of
situations...

Any recommendations appreciated,

Dave
