Hey all, long time reader, first time poster here :) (cliche intended)

OK, so i have a custom program in the works to organize our emails by

"project". One of my missing links is to hook emails from outlook into

the MDB file.

Here it is very simply: User has outlook open, they select the email

they want, click a button and a small form with a dropdown box pops up

containing the names of our active projects. I want them to select the

project which relates to the email and click OK.

When they click OK, i would like the email to attach itself to a table

in Access.

Is this possible?

Thanks!

Edward
 
Yes, it is. For the form I'd use an MSForm, which you can add to the VBA

project. For writing your data into the Access database I'd use the ADODB

library: Add a reference to it via Tools/References, select the newest

available "Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects..." library.

Best regards

Michael, thanks for the reply. I added the reference and am trying to

work my way through how this is going to work now. My hope is to just

have the MDB file out on the network somewhere and connect to it in

the background (ie, not have access open) to add the messages.

Do you know if attachments will go along with the email or will I need

a seperate logic for that?

Thanks again,

Edward
 
If you store the email as *.msg file in your db, it will also contain the

attachments.

Best regards

Hi Edward I am trying to get something similar working, I need to put

emails into a access database table when the send button is clicked.

Do you have this working, if so please can you give some advice.
