The Order Rep Names in my ODBC table appear as:

Lastname, Firstname OR Lastname, Mi. Firstname

I need to change them in my Crystal report to appear as:

Firstname Mi. Lastname

When I do the same thing in a VBA report my code is:

Function ParseFirstComp(OrderRepName) As String
ParseFirstComp = "" 'set the default return value
If Not IsNull(OrderRepName) Then
  Dim LPosition As Integer
  'Find postion of space
  LPosition = InStr(OrderRepName, " ")
  'Return the portion of the string before the space
  If LPosition > 0 Then
    ParseFirstComp = Left(OrderRepName, LPosition - 2)
  End If
End If
End Function

Function ParseSecondComp(OrderRepName) As String
ParseSecondComp = "" 'set the default return value
If Not IsNull(OrderRepName) Then
  Dim LPosition As Integer
  'Find postion of space
  LPosition = InStr(OrderRepName, " ")
  'Return the portion of the string after the space
  If LPosition > 0 Then
    ParseSecondComp = Mid(OrderRepName, LPosition + 1)
  End If
End If
End Function

And then in my query:

Trim ({OptimizeIt.OrderRepName}) ([Expr2] & "  " & [Expr1])

Can someone provide me the code so I can do the same in my Crystal Report? I expect I would put the code in a formula.

Thanks,
