Can someone help me?

I have a field titled "Address Line" which combines the values of fields "Title", "Spouse", "First Name" and "Last Name."

PROBLEM: This calculation adds a space before "First Name" if there is NO Title.
Title & " " & If(IsEmpty(Spouse:); ""; "and Mrs. ") & First Name & " " & Last Name

PROBLEM: This calculation takes out the space before "First Name" but then does NOT have a space between "Title" and "First Name" if there IS a "Title."
Title & If(IsEmpty(Title); "" ) & If(IsEmpty(Spouse:); ""; "and Mrs. ") & Name First & " " & Name Last

Can someone help me get the spacing correct? I'm sure the solution is fairly simple but I’m too simple to get anything to work.

Thanks,
Ralph

Try just including the spacing in the true portion of the If test, like this:

Title &
if ( not ismepty( Spouse ) ; " and Mrs." ; "" ) &
if ( not ismepty( FirstName ) ; " " & FirstName ; "" ) &
if ( not ismepty( LastName ) ; " " & LastName ; "" )

Thanks for the effort John, but your calculation does not remove the space before "FirstName" on the "Address Line" if there is no "Title."

Anything else I can try?

Thanks,
Ralph

Sorry, I just read that wrong. How's this:

Trim (
if ( not ismepty( Title ) ; Title & " " ; "" ) &
if ( not ismepty( Spouse ) ; "and Mrs. " ; "" ) &
if ( not ismepty( FirstName ) ; FirstName & " " ; "" ) &
if ( not ismepty( LastName ) ; LastName & " " ; "" )
)

John,

You rock! Thanks - it works just great. I really appreciate your efforts. It's no wonder Cleveland Consulting is rapidly becoming known as the place to go to if you're having problems with FM.
