I have 2 fields (Last_Name and First_Name). I need to create a field that will have the initials. I think I need to use RTRIM but I don't know how to tell it to get just first letter of each field. On line help hasn't been very. Thanks in advance for your help.

You will need a Left function on the name fields.
