This will work and will help you to understand string functions:

Dim stTitle As String
Dim stFirst As String
Dim stLast As String

'assign the original string
stTitle = "John Smith"

'assign the left part of the string up to the last character before the space
stFirst = Left(stTitle, InStr(stTitle, " ") - 1)

'assign the right part of the string after the space
stLast = Right(stTitle, Len(stTitle) - InStr(stTitle, " "))

'swap the strings around
stTitle = stLast & " " & stFirst

'see what it looks like
MsgBox stTitle
