Can anyone tell me how to use this RegEx to validate a TextBox with A-Z, a-z, space and letters like é. When I tried it is not working.
Thanks

I couldn't get Tom's to work for me. Here's
one I made up from this page and other sources on
the 'Net:
^[A-Za-zÀ-ÖØ-öø-ÿ '\-\.]{1,22}$
Seems to work the way one would expect. Works for:
"Jill St. John",
as well as my good friend:
"Jørnç McO'Donald-Öztürk"
Don't know of any names longer than 22 characters.
Hope it saves you some time!

It fails the "Jill St. John" test. I added "\." to the end for my purposes, but that allows "Jill St." and Richard Bysouth's addition allows "Williams-".

This expression needs one more part to allow for "double-barrelled" surnames such as Williams-Jones. Expression should then be:
^([ \u00c0-\u01ffa-zA-Z'\-])+$
otherwise, works great - have tested it on many names that i have in our DB from all over the world!
