Is the name all one variable. This should do it.
<CFSET Name = "Cool Breeze">
<Cfparam name="initials" default="">
<CFLOOP LIST = "#Name#" delimiters=" " INDEX="tmp">
<CFSET Initials = ListAppend(Initials, Left(tmp, 1), "")>
</CFLOOP>
<CFOUTPUT>#Initials#</CFOUTPUT>
If the first and last names are in seperate fields do this
<cfset Initials = "#left(firstname,1)##left(lastname,1)#">
You can even use the UCase function to capitalize.
