Question : MS Access / VBA: How to do a fuzzy compare of strings. (finding name changes)
My application imports tables of personel data.
I need to keep the names up to date.
In order to do this, I compare the the imported name with the one on file.
But I dont want to always update the stores name.
I want to be able to know which names are very different and which are only slightly different.
For instance, the difference between Kris and Cris is only one letter, of 25% of the word.
But the difference between Smith and Jones is all 5 letters, or 100% of the word.
I'm at a loss of how to approach this. Any help would be appreciated.
