  I have a name column that is currently set-up as follows:

  NAME

  Doe, John H.

  I would like to split it into the following three columns:

  Last_Name

  Doe

  First_Name

  John

  Middle_Initial

  H.

  Does anyone have an algorithm or string function that can accomplish this task?

  RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
  First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
  ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

  Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
