Trying to analyse / view large nos of emails in access. I can link to an
email and tell that it has an attachment but how do I link to that attachment
and then view the jpg within access.

Thanks all
 
Hi Stripey,

Linking probably won't help. You'll need to use VBA code to manipulate
the Outlook object model and work directly with the items in the Outlook
folder. The general idea is to iterate through all the items in the
folder; for each item iterate through all(any) attachments and do what
you want.

This shows one way of handline emails under program control:

This is good place to look for Outlook programming information:

See also www.slipstick.com. Google and http://groups.google.com are also
useful.

For displaying jpgs, I think there's useful stuff at
