you could use the listfirst and listlast functions.  assuming that your
names are alwas Last, First:

<CFSET thename = "Smith, John">

<CFOUTPUT>
#listlast(thename)# #listfirst(thename)#
</CFOUTPUT>

make sense?

Subject: Reveral of a field


Hi,
I have a field with Smith, John as the contents.

I want to display John Smith...

I'm think I get the total length(a), then the charlength of the comma(b).

Take contents b + 1 and subtract that from a equals (c)
Then display the difference of c to a (d)
and then output c after d to the total of the field....

Any other ideas?
