The problem I'm having is in combining these two name lists into one list, then putting it in alphabetical order. Name is for head of household, and sname is for a second person, either a wife or husband. These are two fields in the same record. Combining the lists and putting them in alphabetical order will show a full list to match whoever comes for the food. This program is for a local foodbank.
