| Hi pggokcen, Welcome to SQL Team!In my experience you are going to have a difficult job checking an Email address in SQL.It would be better to check it in your application, preferably by doing an MX lookup.If you want to bulk-check Email addresses in an existing table I do have a routine that uses a regular expression via a COM object, but I would not advise it for a production server.Kristen |
