A full answer to this exercise is provided as part of the training course!

1)	Download the files needed to start this exercise: exercise-718.zip (and click here if you experience any problems unzipping this file after downloading it).
2)	Open the database in the above folder.
3)	Using the hint below create a query to extract the last word in the album title, in the hope that it will give the artist name:
	This algorithm only works for artists with a single word in their name!
The InStrRev function picks out the last occurrence of a string of text within another string, starting at the end.
4)	Save your query as SplittingAlbumTitle, then close it and your database down.
