Automatic population of form data is a browser thing. Different browsers, which may be configured differently, will yield different behaviors in this area. The browser is probably seeing familiar field names, like "First name" (or "firstname"), "lastname", etc., and filling in the details stores for other web sites or the user profile on the operating system. There is probably not something for initials. However, you could probably use some Javascript (a topic for another forum) to look at values entered for the first and last name fields and generate a POid value. It could be updated with an onChange event for the other fields. James Keeline
