Yeah, it's unfortunate... However, this will be the data for our students
transcripts. We're switching to a new system shortly - we want to have
something on DVD for backup. This will allow our admissions department to
reach back and get things as they were prior to our migration.
The likeliness of requiring this is slim but nonetheless, I'd like to ensure
it works.
As for the name field being all one... I thought of that, in fact, I set it
up that way the first time... What happens when they want to search? I'm
sure I can set things up so they can do a search for the whole field and do
like statements... Then they'll see all students with De Los% or something
like that...
That sounds reasonable, no?

Tru dat. :] If it's an option, I would just use a NAME field and not try
to split it up into first name and last name. With the way things are, it
is not anywhere close to reasonable to request otherwise.
