    Delimited Text to 10 seperate columns in Query

    Hi everyone,

    I'm trying to build a query that can parse Delimited text to columns,

    for example I have the following:

    ID,Name,Tel,Fax,Email,Directorate,DOB,AOCD,Reg,CD



    I would like to convert the above in 10 seperate columnns within a query?

    Is this possible? I know you can import delimited text to columns but that is not what i'm after for other reasons.

    Many thanks
    Max

    You could use the split function in conjunction with an array.
