Hi All,

I'm trying to create an Access database to archive Outlook email. This
database is used to sort incoming email into "Client" groups which can then
be used to create reports.... The problem I'm running into deals with
attachments. Whenever I created a linked table based on an Outlook folder it
only lists whether there is an attachment. It doesn't list what the
attachment is or how I can get to it. Does anybody have any suggestion for
automatically pulling attachments from Outlook and saving them somewhere?

Thanks for you help!!
 
Yes, the easiest way is to use the Outlook's MAPI object model. I created a
similar program a few years ago and can only remember using the VBA help in
both Outlook and access to fumble my way thru. It worked.

Sorry not much help, but hopefully better than none.

Ali
