Thank you very much! This also worked perfectly! >>> "L Tumbulu" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 8/17/2006 12:00:30 AM >>>
Isaiah Please avoid using Name as a field name as Access may confuse it with the built-in syntax. You may try this SQL statement SELECT YourTable.Name, Left([YourTable.Name],InStr([YourTable.Name],",")-1) AS FirstName, Trim(Mid([YourTable.Name],InStr([YourTable.Name],",")+1,Len([YourTable.Name] )-Len([FirstName])+1)) AS LastName FROM YourTable; This will create 2 fields FirstName and LastName from one field from the table. I've included Trim in the LastName field to take care of any spaces that may be there between comma and the last name.

Group, I'm drawing a blank right now. I have a field in Access2K called name. This field has both first and last names separated by a comma in one field....ie Doe, John. How can I split this name field into two fields (last and first)?
