Default Splitting names from cells


My first question to the hordes of folks better equipped to answer than
the people around me. I'm a policy advisor and I only use Excel and
Access as they relate to research. I'm trying to figure out if there
is a method for splitting first and last names from a cell where both
are contained. We have a huge fleet database with thousands of
operator names, but when some moron first set up the system, they put
entire name (JOHN A DOE) in one cell. Is there a way I can search for
the string following the final space, or some such thing, so I can
separate the names?

Thanks.
