E-mail Attachment? (1 Viewer)

[sara82]

Is it possible to attach an email in a field of a form?

We have a database that keeps track of technical orders. We get e-mails on what we are supposed to implement on a particular tech. order. Is there anyway I can attach or make a copy of this email or something to have it in a field of my form?

Thanks.

You can take the contents of your inbox into Access by using File Import and changing the file typr to Exchange, next choose which folder you want to import from your inbox and the contents will be taken into an Access table. The body of the email will automatically be set to memo so from here you can create your form and display the message results.

thanking you in advance and look forward to hear from you

Your best bet would be to store the attachments in a directory and create a link to this as storing the attahment in access will take up too much memory.
