Everyone (& you too, Glenda)-- If A) the function is in VBA, and B) the function only makes use of components you have installed (such as any DLL's or OCX's), it should work. AS ray wrote, if you care to post the function here, I'm sure some of us (that is, me) would be happy to test it out for you. ;-) --Jim -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Glenda Wells Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2004 12:27 PM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Excel Function to Access Hi All. I found some help online and surprised the heck out of myself by writing a simple function in Excel that actually works to check simple rules for email addresses. Is there a way to make this thing work in Access? I'm sure the two are different...maybe? Any suggestions appreciated. /g _____ << ella for Spam Control >> has removed 10887 Spam messages and set aside 0 Newsletters for me You can use it too - and it's FREE! www.ellaforspam.com ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
