#71327 - 2002-10-30 10:05 PM String Value
Incognito Incognito Getting the hang of it Registered: 2001-07-09 Posts: 66	Hey guys, What would be the easiest way for me to create a system variable to gather the following information: I need to create a variable that would be the first initial and last name of the user - for example: Full Name= John Smith - I would need a system variable created as jsmith. Is there an easy way to do this using kix? If so, how would I do it using the fullname field from user manager? Thanks!

First, your name, was immediately forgotten (if recorded). The based on Department, Title/Position, a user ID was derrived, of course, follwed by a number or two. So, my official ID there was, L26, however, being the sly ones IT staffers are, we just used our initials. Guess what, they merged with a new company, I left and who cares. out - jtrainer - _________________________ Bumped my mouse again, time to reboot Windoze....
