Checking a queue

Does Access/VB Code have the ability to regularly check a queue to see if
there is an item in it that needs to be processed, get the item and then
process it?
 
You can use a form timer event to do that. You set the Timer Interval to a
value to tell it how often to fire the timer event. 1 = 1 millisecond, so
1000 is 1 second.

Then you code the timer event of the form to do whatever needs to be done.
 
I've never done this before so here's another question... How do I tell it
where to look (such as for a msg coming in via Outlook and getting an
attachment from the e-mail)?
 
The Outlook object model is not my strong suit, so I can't provide any useful
detail for you. I would suggest you post a new question and be specific
about what you want to do, for example:

"I want to use a form timer event to see if new emails have arrived and when
a new email arrives I want to determine if it has an attachement. If it
does, then I want to......"

You will get much better help when your questions clearly describe "What"
you want to do.
 
I will do that - thanks for your help!
