    Bit of a late answer, but found this usefull when I had this same problem.

    http://www.syntaxwarriors.com/2012/t-sql-splitting-strings-into-multiple-rows/[/url]

    Even has an example of how to make sure that any other columns of data are moved along with the split values.

    The article reference by Andy explains why the process at the link you posted will work but performs a lot slower.
