    Extracting Data From Imported Email

    I have my inbox linked to my database, and it is able to pull the emails in and place in a table. What I am trying to do now, is pull just a small portion of the contents and then link to the corresponding table. I can't seem to figure out how to pull the data from the content field.

    Table = OutLookRedCross
    qryARCEmailCerts - is the trimmed down data
    Contents Needed = Each line that has the Name and hyperlink
    Subject = Course Record Number
    Received = Date

    All other data can be disregarded. If I could extract the info above from the table, I can then link to my other tables.

    Any ideas?

    How can line with name and hyperlink be identified? Is there an identifier word that will always be present? Post example of text.

    Yes, the email is a system generated one, so everything is virtually the same. The line I need is: 1) FIRST NAME LAST NAME https://classes.redcross.org/Saba/We...ficate?certid= that part of hyperlink/text will always be constant. There's a code after the "=" which will change per certificate, and obviously the First Name and Last Name will change as well.

    https://classes.redcross.org/Saba/We...ficate?certId= Is the constant, there is some additional coding after the "=", but the front portion of link will remain the same.

    I suggest you post a copy of the database with only a few anonymized records. It is difficult to offer more focused advice since we do not have any details of your code nor a "mocked/concocted" example.

    Consistency of structure is critical in string manipulation. Example:
    Code:
    Sub GetInfo()
    Dim strS As String
    strS = "The line I need is: 1) FirstName LastName https://classes.redcross.org/Saba/We...ficate?certid=something part of hyperlink/text before = will always be constant."
    strS = Mid(strS, InStr(strS, ")") + 2)
    Debug.Print Left(strS, InStr(strS, "http") - 2)
    strS = Mid(strS, InStr(strS, "http"))
    Debug.Print Left(strS, InStr(strS, " ") - 1)
    End Sub
    The output:
    FirstName LastName
    https://classes.redcross.org/Saba/We...ficate?certid=something

    Question

    Here is a clean copy of my database. End goal is to have my email confirmation imported to a table, then the certificate links paired with the individual who attended the course (course # is within the email as well as the date). I just don't know how to extract the data from the email body.
