Hi All - I'm looking to be pointed in the right direction here: I need
to develop a one-off process to extract a bunch of email from an
Outlook folder, The emails are machine generated, so are all of an
identical format. I need to write a program to read all the messages
from a folder, extract fields from them (from, to, subject, body) and
write those into an Access table.
Any pointers on the way to do this? I'm a Unix C++ programmer who
knows a little about Access programming, but I don't know how I would
programatically access an Outlook email folder. I'm guessing there's
some sort of object framework for it; where do I find out about that?

File-> Get External Data -> Link Tables ->Choose Type (MS Exchange) ->
Specify the profile you want to look at (If I remember correctly) then
select the folder you want. Then you can query it like a native
Access table and you're done.
Pieter,
Is there a Transfer method similar to TransferSpreadsheet or TransferText to do
this?

Pieter, thanks for that - a much better solution!

Steve,
I suppose you could from within Access, since it would treat the
attached table as a normal linked table... Can't you just do something
like
DoCmdTransferSpreadsheet..."olkInBox" or some such thing? This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |
