I am trying to import thousands of emails in Spanish from Outlook (Western
European encoding) into Access. I need both the receieved date field and
email message field in Access and am having this problem.

1) When I use Outlook export command, I can get correct Spanish fonts but
cannot export date fields.
2) When I use Access import (or link) command, I can get date fields but
Spanish encoding such as accents is lost.

Is there any way I can get both fields properly in Access?
 
As far as I know you'll need to use Automation to do this. These links
should get you started (or at least familiarise you with search terms
for further investigation):
