Is it possible to have e-mails straight into access, so a general mailbox,
which populates a tables in access, any ideas guys and gals
 
Hi Matt,

Access can't receive emails, but it is possible to write a program that
"watches" a mailbox and processes each new message. The processing can
include things like appending data to a table in a database (Access or
otherwise).

This can be done in quite a few programming languages, including VBA
running in Access (although that's not, IMHO, the most suitable for this
purpose - partly because of the issues relating to unattended operation
that I mentioned in response to your previous message). The details
depend on the details<g>.
