REgular Expressions in MS Access
Hi all,
I'm trying to get "Regular Expressions" to work in MS Access. I am relatively new to "RegExp" and have been reading up on it in experts exchange. I've created a module in Access and added the reference to Microsoft VBScript Regualr Expressions 1.0 (i see there is also a 5.5). However, in trying to use it I've created the following code and when i run it i get Compile Error: Expected user defined type, not project. Any ideas?
Set RegularExpressionObject = New RegExp
With RegularExpressionObject
.Pattern = "\b[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9._
.IgnoreCase = True
.Global = True
End With
If RegularExpressionObject.Te
MsgBox "valid", vbOKOnly
Else
MsgBox "invalid", vbOKOnly
End If
thanks
Sean

I agree with Leigh and believe the error message is correct: the name of your project is probably RegExp. I just wanted to explain how you can change it. Renaming the database will not rename the project (it's set once when you create the database). Instead, select your project in the Project Explorer (Ctrl+R) and change the name, or choose "tools / <your project> properties" and change it there.

Yep - I did a check before posting but (as I am desperately trying to get away from here but keep being pulled back by old, slow, lingering, existing questions) I only checked the application name and didn't spend the extra 10 seconds to check the VBA project name. :-(
Appologies - I'm afraid I'm not of much help at the moment as I strive to escape. :-S

However - judging from your error message, I'd wager that you've named your application RegExp. (i.e. RegExp.mdb)
Either change it or qualify your reference like:
Set RegularExpressionObject = New VBScript_RegExp_55.RegExp
(I'd tend toward the latter - but you *always* need to be careful when naming objects).
