split data
I receive these automated reports daily in Microsoft Outlook. I bring them
into Microsoft Access and a single field is created. What I need to do is somehow parse the data so I see each of the 6-digit numbers that begin with 3 and associate each of the 6-digit numbers to the date listed at the top of the report. My example report is far below and what I want the result to look like is just below - 313221 10/7/08 313222 10/7/08 313223 10/7/08 313224 10/7/08 313225 10/7/08 SAMPLE REPORT Date : 10-07-08 [23:11] Page : 1 Company : 730 PRINT NEW PROJECT DATA -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ ProjNr.| Date | Description | Created By |Project Manager | Address | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 313223 | 10-07-08| |fretyed |PAT |ATLANTA, GA 30339 --- --- --- --- -313224 | 10-07-08| |dwal |PAT |NASHVILLE, TN 37201 313225 | 10-07-08| |dwal |PAT |ATLANTA, GA 30339------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+313221 | 10-07-08| |dwalker | |NEW YORK, NY 10019 313222 | 10-07-08| |dwal | |CAMBRIDGE, MA 02141 |

You have five different six-digit numbers each associated with the same date. What is the source of the information in your report? How do the numbers relate to the dates, or to the data in the report??? -- John W. Vinson [MVP] |

split data
1. The original source of the data is Reflection for UNIX and Digital Version
7.00. 2. Each night a report is generated and sent as an email to my outlook account. 3. I take this data from outlook and import it into Access but when I do, each report is treated as one cell. 4. The only information that is important to me is the date of the report and the 6-digit numbers beginning with 3 that appear on each report. What I need to be able to do in the future is run a query and see every 6-digit number beginning with 3, and the date of the report it appeared on. ....I know this is hard to visualize.

If you're getting the data all in one (memo??) field, you'll need to write VBA code to step through it and parse out the numbers. This would probably use the Split() function to split it into rows, and then InStr() to find the blank... I'm afraid it's a bit more code than I'm up for dashing off this afternoon though! -- John W.
