Soundex Function

Hi,

I am havinging an issue with the SOUNDEX() function. I have noticed two things. One it generates more than 4 characters on return for some names and for some names returns an incorrct soundex code. For example Chackes and Czakes produce C000 when they should Produce C220. Same thing for Ehackes returns E200 instead of E220. Also BIRNBAUM returns a 5 digit code when there are only suppose to be 4. Can anyone tell me what to do to refine this better? Or how I can get a correct Soundex function for myself and My ISP. I am using the code for a genealogy site and they are a little picky on this stuff.

Thanks,
