Email criteria query only "gmail"
What is the criteria for a query if I only want to email my customers with a "gmail" type email? I've tried a hundred things, Like "gmail" Like "*gmail" Like "gmail.com" and every other variety including >= etc. Can anyone help me?
thanks
This is how trouble-shooting works.
Try one thing first, isolate the individual parts--in this case the criteria for email.Once you verify that it works as required, the next step is to add the second criteria, either the IN() clause for states or the word in the Notes field.
Once you verify the first two work as required, you can add the third and test again.
I've repeatedly stated I can't test for you without adequate sample data. I can suggest SQL Syntax to use, but it's on you to verify it.
There should be only ANDs between the three criteria, because you want all three to apply:
In specific States AND with specific email hosts AND with a specific value in the Notes Field.
- Everytime I run the query with all my various attempts and different * " Like >= etc they all contain yahoo, msn, hotmail, etc in the results. How do I get it to only show gmail?
Please show us:
--Some sample data, not real email addresses, but samples that could be found in the table.
--The actual SQL from your query. Not a screenshot of the query design grid please. Copy and paste the SQL.
We might be able to identify the problem.George_Hepworth what I'm trying to find is the query syntax to filter out only my friends who use Gmail. I have tried a bunch, "*.gmail.com" and every variety of that, does not work. The results always include some other users.
- I've tried Like"*"&[Enter character string]&"*" and then when I open the query it asks me for the character string, so I've tried gmail or @gmail or @gmail.com and none of them work, I get all kinds of other emails, yahoo, msn, etc etc
