Queries :: Extract Email Address From A Large Text File
Feb 18, 2014
I am trying to find a way to extract an email from a large text file that is an output from our email system. I would like to be able to extract the email address using a query or collection of queries. I have been able to extract all of the text that contains the @ symbol. From their I created a query expression:
Mid([field1],InStrRev([field1]," ")) that captures some but not everything I need.
I am using Access 2007. I have a text field that contains multiple e-mail addresses. The field is generated from a excel file that I download from a website the company uses. I would like to create a query or VBA code to change the e-mail address to just the employee name. The problem is the filed can have multiple e-mail address separated by a comma. I have been changing them manually using "Search - Replace", but that is getting tedious as the database is getting used more often.
Where the word Author= appears to extract the data between the double quotes, so in the above case I want to extract "All Saints" excluding the double quotes.And then where Title= appears extract "On & On", again excluding the double quotes.So I would end up with data in my table looking something like this
strArtist [Author] strSong [Title] strGenre [Genre] strYear [Year] All Saints On & On Pop America Venture Highway Rock 1972 Amillionsons Misty Blue Pop 2002
How can i extract all the information in those tables and put all the data into one large table? I want to extract everything apart from one table?
and can I format the large table once the data have been put in i.e. insert new Columns at the start, and populate fields based on the value of other fields values?
I have a form bound to a table which stores contact info for a person. I have two controls that are email_address and website_address. I set them both as hyperlinks. So now when the user clicks on the email_address Outlook opens a new message with an email_address in the To field. (I had to use a function found on this forum to replace the "htttp" with "mailto" on AfterUpdate event in order for this to work properly.) However, now trying to add some other features to my DB I ran into problems listed below. I wonder if I should have rather left that control as Text instead of Hyperlink, and use the DoCmd.SendObject on doubleclick event instead of using the above solution. How people usually store email addresses and enable emailing on click?
The problems I ran into: 1) My main form is in popup mode and therefore right click on the hyperlink does not give an option to edit the hyperlink 2) I copied a function from this forum which gathers a list of emails and sends one message to the emaillist. However, my email list instead of generating as: email1@a.com; email2@b.com it generates as: email1@a.com#mailto:email1@a.com#; email2@b.com#email2@b.com#
I guess I could extract the email using vba (not sure how), but I still don't know how to solve issue number 1. So maybe it is better to siwtch the field to plain text and forget the hyperlinks?
Thanks, Mariusz
PS. What procedure on double click would open a default browser, since I also have to deal with web addresses and thought of turning them into text controls?

I am currently using vb code to send an email in Access on the click of a button. I want the database user to be able to enter the recipient in a text box [ToEmail] which is on form [GroupStockProfiler]. However, I'm unsure how to put this into my code. I currently have the following which doesn't work (unless I put a specific email after 'To'):
I want to automate an email to include the senders email addres with some text in the body of the email.
Code: Private Sub send_mail_Click() Dim olApp As Object Dim objMail As Object On Error Resume Next 'Keep going if there is an error Set olApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application") 'See if Outlook is open
Hi, I am trying to email a table in text format using :
DoCmd.SendObject acSendTable, "Table", acFormatTXT, , , , "Results", "Attached are the reslts"
It sends the file in text file format, but it adds "-" & "|" characters all over the file. Is there a way that I can send the file in simple "Comma Separated" file format.

I am a relative newcomer to Access, and am trying to work out if there is a way to isolate email addresses in a line of text, and delete all the text around them.
I have basically got a column which contains blocks of text and I want to extract the email addresses that are embedded within them. Does anyone know if this is possible by running queries?
When I joined this forum last month, I attempted to enter my current email address and I got a message box that my email address had been banned. I tried several times to enter the correct (current) email address and each time was told that email address had been banned.
I attempted to contact 'jon@access-programmers.co.uk' on the 13th and 27th of April with no response.
As it is right now, this forum only recognizes my old email address instead of my real email address as that's the only way I could continue the join process.
Can anyone: 1. tell me why my current email address has been banned 2. help me get my correct information entered?
The code below works for the one email address "Quality Assurance"...but I want to add more email values to SendObject command. If I do this: stEmail = Me.Quality_Assurance_Authorizer.Column(1) And Me.Engineering_Authorizer.Column(1)..... I get a Runtime error '13' Type mismatch. Is there another way of including a series of email values into the SendObject code below? The reason I'm using the value of the column is that sometimes the value may be null if that department doesnt need to be emailed. Thanks for any help.
Private Sub cmdPCAuthSend_Click()
Dim stDocName As String Dim stEmail As String
stDocName = "rptPCAuthReq" stEmail = Me.Quality_Assurance_Authorizer.Column(1) DoCmd.SendObject acSendReport, stDocName, "SnapshotFormat(*.snp)", stEmail, , , "PCA Authorization Request", "Please review this product change and authorize when appropriate."
I have been working on a database which is going to integrate a client database with any emails they send to me. The idea is that I will create a sub form as part of the contact information section which will show any emails that have been sent from that contact. I have a field which has the email address in the contact section and I want to link the contact to the sub form by the 'email address' and the 'from' field in the link outlook folder.
This all works great except that access links to the outlook folder and in the 'from' field, it shows the display name instead of the email address it was sent from. Is there anyway to tell it to extract the email address itself instead of the display name, or is there another way of achieving this same thing?
How to get a large .txt file into Access. I know it has too many columns so I selected about 30 columns that I don't need to be 'skipped'. However it is just giving me the error that my file has more than 255 columns - with the 30 selected for skip - it should have about 230 columns.
I've spent about an hour searching this site for email issues but most I found we how to send. I want to take existing data and make an email address. I have a FName field and an LName field. In my email field I want FName.LName@email.com. the @email.com will always be the ending. Also where (on gotfocus) is the best place to put this code so it autopopulates after the FName and LName are entered?
