Re: [MS_AccessPros] Splitting Full Name

 

Asanteza-  

If all your records contain first name - space - last name, then you can do it in a query like this:

FirstName: Left([FullName], Instr([FullName], " ") - 1)

LastName: Mid([FullName], Instr([FullName], " ") + 1)

I have been doing this task with Excel but wondering if Access can't do it automatically. I wish to split Full names like "James Asante" into two fields, First Name and Last Name.

Please help.
