Sounds like you need a new vendor. Tell the vendor that your accounting software will not cut checks for

amounts greater than half their fee. See if they will accept that!!!

HEHE...I tried James Rick & Rick James.  You will still have the same

issue with those. Guess they have no way to tell either....

Thanks,

Thanks for all the responses however I have no control of what the

vendor is passing and they stated they will not change it...

I have written other parsers for names however its always Last, First

and sometimes a prefix or Sr/Jr...

Its actually funny because I have had staff that look at the files we

get from the vendor and can not determine the first and last name...... just like James Rick....!

Well thanks for the comments I have seen some webservices available to

do this however would love to figure out how they are doing it....

Like this service...
