How are you going to handle Lizzie and Betty -
both short forms of Elizabeth?
Also -
do you have a way of distinguishing the guy whose legal first name IS
Bob, not Robert?
Or my uncle, whose name was Frederic, but always went by Ted?

THis is used as a search filter, not for output. So Legal Bob stays
Legal Bob, just users can find him if they search for Robert as well.

Why not use a table? Maintainable by users rather than programmers.
tblAltName
MyName text (pk)
AltName text (pk)
MyAltName = Nz(DLookup("AltName","tblAltName","MyName=" & MyNAme &
"'"),MyName)

You are right, a table would be best. I'm using a SQL Server backend
and I'm trying to avoid round trips to the server. I'll look at it
though. Thanks for the tip.
