Create This Function:
'-------------------------------------------
Function SplitName(ByVal s As String, ByVal Part As Integer) As String
Dim narr() As String
Dim i As Integer
narr = Split(s, " ")
If Part = 0 Then ' First Name
SplitName = narr(0)
ElseIf Part = 2 Then ' Last Name
SplitName = narr(UBound(narr()))
Else ' Middle Name
For i = LBound(narr()) + 1 To UBound(narr()) - 1
SplitName = SplitName & " " & narr(i)
Next
SplitName = Trim(SplitName)
End If
End Function
'----------------------------------------

Import the Excel data into a new table
Create an Append Query - something like:
INSERT INTO CONTACTS (FIRSTNAME, MIDDLENAME, LASTNAME)
SELECT SplitName(NameField,0),SplitName(NameField,1),SplitName(NameField,2)
FROM MyExcelData
