Anyone know about Parsing an email?

Hello everyone

Heres what it looks like:

I have a large file of over 40k email records. The emails are all mixed up and come in various formats but i noticed that most of them are in this format:

firstname.lastname@.email.com
firstname.middlename.lastname@.email.com

For all those emails with the period (.) in between, the (.) actually separates an individuals first and last name.

My task is this, to separate all the emails that are in this format into first and last name fields. I'm stimped folks and I'll really appreciate any pointers or ideas on how to go about solving this task.

Answer: Access creates DB in MSDE in SQL Server Authentication mod

I've confirmed that MS Access will create an ADP project in MSDE only if the server is set to Mixed (SQL Server and Windows) authentication mode. Trials in Windows Authentication mode failed. This is still hard to believe, I know, but its a reality.
To all those who tried to help, my sincere thanks.

Lou,
Did you have to create users in the SQL database itself so that Domain
Users could access the MSDE, and if so, with what tool did you use?
