Extract Text Between Delimiters in Microsoft Access

In this Microsoft Access tutorial, I will teach you how to extract specific text located between two given delimiters or keywords within a block of text. This is incredibly useful when you're dealing with text data and need to isolate particular information. Whether you're parsing through data retrieved from a Web API, system logs, analyzing text files, or simply want to manipulate text in your Access databases, knowing how to do this can save you a ton of time. We'll use VBA to create a custom function called FindBetween to achieve this.
