I need to :

Open *.MSG File from Hard Drive via Code

and extract the file attachment. I have hundreds of these emails that we

need the attachments extracted from. But the .msg files are on a hard drive.

Someone help me out here....

I need the code to open and access the mailitem....

how do I open a .msg file?
 
Use the CreateItemFromTemplate() method for that.

Use the Application.CreateItemFromTemplate method. That will create a new

message based on the .msg file. You can then work with that message's

Attachments collection.
