[AccessD] Parsing name field

Debbie

...I've never come across any such code that was reliable enough to put in 
service with raw data ...the real problem is not parsing but dirty data 
...the data has to be in a certain format in order to be processed correctly 
...I forget the exact count on the ways to enter a simple suffix like Jr but 
its amazing ...and the software has to accommodate all of them or its 
essentially worthless.

...that said, let us know if you find something :)
