split information in fields

[Orjan]

In my accesstable i have one field with two numbers separated by a slash
(i.e. 753/999).
I want to store the number before the slash (could be between 1 and 10
digits) in a field called "F1" and the number after the slash (could be
between 1 and 10 digits) in another field called "F2".
I have tried with right, left and len functions but I cannot make it work
the way I want.
If somebody could help me with some code to make this work I would be most
greatfull.
Best regards
Orjan

?Left("753/999",InStr(1,"753/999","/")-1)
753

?Right("753/999",Len("753/999")-InStr(1,"753/999","/"))
999

Of course substitute the correct reference for the literal strings.
