I have an excel spreadsheet created from an external

database program.
Unfortunatly it didn't format the cells or split the

text into
different columns.

An example of which is :

000105 Ritz Camera Center

This is all in one cell.

What i'm trying to do is split the cell in 2, having

the Vendor Code in
one cell (000105) and the vendor name in the other.

Ideally i'd like to have a macro split the cell at the

first blank
space, but i'm at a loss on how to do that. If anyone

has an idea of
how i can do this i'd really appreciate the help. Been

hitting my head
against a wall on this one.

James
