how about showing what you've done and the problems that you are having.
asking for someone to just do it for you is the least likely way to get help. I will give you the two functions that you need to accomplish this though: Split & Mid

Code:
Private Sub Form_Load() Dim strFullName As String Dim strInitial As String Dim strLName As String strFullName = "Thomas Edison" strInitial = Mid(strFullName, 1, 1) & "." strLName = Mid(strFullName, (InStr(strFullName, " ") + 1), (Len (strFullName) - InStr(strFullName, " "))) MsgBox strInitial & strLName End Sub I think that should work, but only in cases where there are only two given names. It should give you a start, anyway.
