There is not a text to columns, but see if this link will help.

Here is a brief explanation from the site:

                                                                            
 SUMMARY                                                                    
 This article provides two methods that you can use to parse                
 comma-separated text in a Text field and to display the text in multiple   
 Text fields.                                                               
                                                                            
 You can use the first method for a Text field that contains two words      
 separated by a comma, for example, a field that contains a last name       
 followed by a first name (Smith, John).                                    
                                                                            
 You can use the second method for a Text field that contains more than two 
 words separated by commas, for example, a field that contains a city, a    
 region, and a country (Toronto, Ontario, Canada).

In Excel, there is a text to columns options that allows the user to split
information in one cell across several cells. That is, if A1 contains:
United States, Florida, Dade County, Miami

You can break that up so that cells
A1 contains United States
B1 contains Florida
C1 contains Dade County
D1 contains Miami

Is there a way to accomplish something like this in Access?

Thank you.

Robert
