    Splitting a comma seperated value into multiple columns using SQL View

    I have a table that looks something like this:

    Column1 Column2 Column3
    John 12, 34, 5,498 Texas
    Mike 16, 8, 69, 54 New York
    Robert 104, 42, 110 Mexico
    Josh 25 Maine


    I am trying to seperate the values in Column2 into multiple columns that hold single values so that for instance the first row's Column2 holds each value in a different Column:
    Column1 Column2 Column3 Column4
    12 34 5 498

    Basically I am trying to normalize the data and without doing this, I cannot move forward. I would really appreciate if someone can help me solve this using some sort of SQL Query in Access's SQL View.

    Thanks in advance!
