Depending on your version of max, you have 2 options. You could A. Delete the face of the polygon you are trying to split, THEN create the 2 polygons(it won't work if you don't delete the face). B. In max 5 you can just select the 2 vertices, and select "Connect" and it will draw a line between them, thus creating the 2 polys.:beer:

in max you can use the 'cut' tool to connect the 2 verticies to easily separate the polygon

you can also use the cut tool in edge subobj mode (or any really) and then click on one vertex and then the other vertex
