I am trying to split a string in two, at a set distance, but it needs to be between words.  I am able to do a left(string,250) no problem, but it could end up in the middle of a word.
Any easy ideas?

Thanks for trying to help, but I figured it out.
I guess I shouldn't have said strings, what I was trying to do is take a whole sentence and split it into two seperate ones, but couldn't have it split in the middle of a word.  I ended up using InStrRev.
Thanks again

Can you post the code you used to split the string between words?

Thanks!

If you just want to split a single string like "Full Name" at the space in between, you can do this:

firstname = trim(left(fullname,instr(fullname," ")))
lastname = trim(right(fullname,len(agent)-len(fname)))


What I was trying to do was split a sentence in half, but make sure it wasn't in the middle of a word, which is done with:
left(MyInput,InStrRev( MyInput, " ",2000))
It's like doing a left(MyInput,2000) which returns the first 2000 characters, but the "InStrRev" makes sure its at a space.
You can get the remainder of the sentence using:
right(MyInput,len(MyInput) - InStrRev( MyInput, " ",2000))
