The following will write the HTML attachment contents (text) to the
memo field called [Attachment]. To view it, you would write come code
to write it back to a temp file and then use FollowHyperlink to open
it.
Public Function ScanInbox(SubjectLine As String)
Const strTempFileSpec = "C:\__tmp\AttachTemp.txt"
Dim TempRst As DAO.Recordset
Dim OlApp As Outlook.Application
Dim Inbox As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim InboxItems As Outlook.Items
Dim OlMessage As Outlook.MailItem
Dim OlAttachment As Outlook.Attachment
Dim strmTemp As ADODB.Stream
Set OlApp = New Outlook.Application
Set Inbox =
OlApp.GetNamespace("Mapi").GetDefaultFolder(olFold erInbox)
Set TempRst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("tbl_OutlookTemp")
If SubjectLine <"" Then
Set InboxItems = Inbox.Items.Restrict("[Subject] = """ &
SubjectLine & """")
Else
Set InboxItems = Inbox.Items
End If
For Each OlMessage In InboxItems
With TempRst
.AddNew
!Subject = OlMessage.Subject
!From = OlMessage.SenderName
!To = OlMessage.To
!Body = OlMessage.Body
!DateSent = OlMessage.SentOn
If OlMessage.Attachments.Count 0 Then
' collection index starts at 1, not 0
Set OlAttachment = OlMessage.Attachments(1)
OlAttachment.SaveAsFile strTempFileSpec
Set OlAttachment = Nothing
Set strmTemp = New ADODB.Stream
' HTML attachment is text
strmTemp.Type = adTypeText
strmTemp.Charset = "us-ascii"
strmTemp.Open
strmTemp.LoadFromFile strTempFileSpec
strmTemp.Position = 0
' save to memo field in table
!Attachment = strmTemp.ReadText
strmTemp.Close
Set strmTemp = Nothing
Kill strTempFileSpec
End If
.Update
End With
Next
Set OlApp = Nothing
Set Inbox = Nothing
Set InboxItems = Nothing
Set OlMessage = Nothing
Set TempRst = Nothing
MsgBox "Done."
End Function

The emails which I would like to import contain an attachment. Does

know how I can either save the attachement in Access as a memo or OLE
object? or even save a link to open the attachement?

I have tried adding !Attachment = Mailobject.Attachment but nothing is

| Hi, Dean.
Your question is really about the Outlook object model and not about
Access per se. That said, if you check the Object Browser you will see
that there is no "Attachment" property for the MailItem object.
However, there _is_ an "Attachments" collection through which you can
access the attachment(s) for the MailItem. (A single mail message can
have more than one attachment.)
So, your reference to the ".Attachment" property won't work. You can
either arbitrarily select the first attachment, something like this
(warning - air code):
Dim oMail As Outlook.MailItem, oAttach As Outlook.Attachment
' ...omitted code to set up object references, open recordset, etc.
If oMail.Attachments.Count 0 Then
Set oAttach = oMail.Attachments(0)
' do something useful
Set oAttach = Nothing
End If
or you could iterate through the Attachments collection, as in
Dim oMail As Outlook.MailItem, oAttach As Outlook.Attachment
' ...omitted code to set up object references, open recordset, etc.
For Each oAttach In oMail.Attachments
' do something useful
Next
Set oAttach = Nothing
