I posted this a while ago with no luck and I'm going to try it again:

I have a column called strlastname with contains the firstname and last name of a client. I want to separate out the first name and last name into into two separate fields. I figured maybe I can do it easier if I copied the column into the table. So now I have a column called strfirstname that contains the first name and the last name and a colmn called strlastname that contains the first name and last name. The lastname is seperated from the first name with a comma like this:

doe, john

any guesses?
