I copies the list of Macros from my current Help facility into MS Word sand searched on ABTO. Nada. Would it be a lot of bother for you to copy the ABnnnPPP section from your helpfile and pass it along to me? Now that I am using this obsolete-but-still-supported Macro, it will be helpful to know about these two constants. Thanks. -- Leonard S.

Not that surprising. ABtoFIRSTNAME does not appear in the suggested macros for Sender information or Recipient information when creating a template. I was able to find it, along with ABfromLASTNAME in a Help - Search on the name of the macro itself. I could not find it in Full alphabetic list of macros that are part of the Help Manual. If I did not know of its existence... Leonard -- Leonard S.
