I am parsing some SQL statements and have found places where the SELECT statement may be: SELECT [tblCustomer].[FirstName], [tblCustomer.LastName], [tblOrder].[Order_No] and as you see the second column has a `.` inside the square brackets. This is acceptable in Access SQL but not SQL Server. I'm trying to build a RegEx to identify when there is a `.` inside square brackets and replace it with `].[` I've tried: `\[.+?\](?![\.])` which will get me a period inside square brackets but it doesn't stop searching when it finds the closing bracket. I'm using ECMAScript to be compatible with VBA and I don't have concerns about nested brackets. Another example: SELECT IIf([tbl_ref_Service].[Root_Service] Is Null,[tbl_ref_Service].[Service],[tbl_ref_Service].[Root_Service]) AS Root_Service, tbl_POC_Assigned.POC_ID, [tbl_POC_Assigned.Hex_ID] & "_" & [tbl_Hex.Generic_ID] & "_" & [tbl_Lateral.Service_ID] & "_" & [tbl_Hex.ODD_Micap] & "_Null" AS Tool_Generic_Line, tbl_Hex.Building_ID AS Hex_Building_ID, tbl_POC.Lateral_ID, tbl_Generic_Service.Peak_Flow, [Diversity_Factor]*[Peak_Flow] AS Avg_Flow, tbl_POC_Assigned.Flow, tbl_POC_Assigned.Flow_Avg
