Title: How can I reverse the position of Last name and first name?
Post by: toshiaf on July 08, 2005, 03:24:08 am

I wonder how to revserse First name and Last name in mail address?
Because Japanese use last name and first name in order.  If I can reverse the position of name in sending name in mail address, it is good.  Othersie I put First name in Last name field and other.
 :cry:

Hi there-

I think if I am understanding you are looking to reverse the order of first name and last name. You might want to import your database into Excel and manipulate the data there first, then proceed to reimport back into ListMail.

Help me understand better and I'll see if I can provide you a better solution.

I see what you're saying - the "to" name is incorrect.  I could write you a small script that will swap the first and last names in the database.  After that, you could change your ListMail form to use "lname" for the first name and "fname" for the last name.
