I have linked access to my outlook inbox which works ok. But, I am
wondering if anyone know how to access the attachments that are with
the emails. Thanks in advance.

How did you link Access to your inbox? What happens to the messages? Where
does access store them?

I don't understand?

You can link in MS Outlook tables into MS Access. There's a predefined set of fields that you can do this with.

Unfortunately, this is not the method you will use to obtain the attachments. In order to do this, you'll need to use some programming, using MAPI or CDO, in order to do this.

I might suggest asking this question in the MS Outlook section. I have done this with MAPI/CDO, and am certain is it possible, but I bet they would have better canned solutions for you.
