[mso] Access 2000 removing many towns?

Suppose I have an access file containing a table that contains places
like the following:
Maine, York County, Dayton
Florida, Miami-Dade County, Miami Beach
Illinois, Bureau County
Kentucky
Mississippi, Claiborne County
Illinois, Peoria County, Brimfield
Iowa, Polk County, West Des Moines
Tennessee
Is there an easy easy to check all that and if any field has something
more than just the state and county, strip off the town / city so that
it reads:
Maine, York County
Florida, Miami-Dade County
Illinois, Bureau County
Kentucky
Mississippi, Claiborne County
Illinois, Peoria County
Iowa, Polk County
Tennessee
Possible? I thought about exporting to Excel, and do a "Text to Columns"
function, but the file is more than 70,000 rows deep. Simply put, what
would be the fastest way to locate the second comma, and starting with
the second comma itself, delete everything from the second comma to the
end of the field?
Thank you.
Robert
