First Letter of first two words in a field

Hello

I have a field called [Hotel] and in the field there can be 2 or three words (Best Western Inn, or Holiday Inn & Suites Etc.) and I need the first letter of the first two words in different field... BW or HI etc.
I can easily get the first letter but the second is proving to be very difficult.

Use the InStr() function to find the location of the first space, then use the Mid() function to extract the first character after that location.
