You actually have two problems here.
Let's talk about the first problem, as it sounds like you are uploading the

I'm guessing that the competitor did a poor job (or a very good job - ha) of

I have an existing project where a form takes a field name
and inserts in in a row name in an Access database.
So, we have about 1000 names in the database as one name
(firstname lastname). Now, the client changes his mind, and
wants to be able to sort by last name, firstname.

I'd run a query through the table, picking up the names, breaking them

I am not sure about in Access. In T-SQL you have functions like
charindex,
and subsrtring and right, and left that would make it easy to do this
all in
SQL. Using access I don't think you have those functions, however you
can
use CF to do
You ought show them a comparison (cost) of how much time (therefore money)
you are putting into the fix and how much it would have cost had they
listened to you in the first place ($0.00)
Let the figures speak for you
again, proof the client really has no idea what they really wantsigh.

Is there a way, to somehow break up the full name into 2 fields, say
by using the space as a separator? I would only need to do this
once as it is an event. Could I make two new fields, last_name and
first_name, then get the fullname, break it up
I second this - even though I posted a selotape solution, to break down the
info into 2 separate entities is the better option

Yes, it can be done. But it will require manual review afterwards.
I'd probably just right a quick and dirty CF page to do this work for you (a
bit easier to understand/code than T-SQL), or if you have the skills, use
SQL directly.
However, what about cases where the name is something like
It can also be done by creating a query using SQL in access. ColdFusion
is not necessary.

It can be done in access
Give this a shot - should get you on the right track.
