[AccessD] Outlook To Text Message (slightly OT)

Thanks Jim
If you can't see the issue then am I over-complicating something? As I said
originally what I want to do is 
trigger receipt of certain emails in Outlook to generate text messages to
mobiles. So how would you do that Jim? Is it simple and I'm missing the
obvious? Wouldn't be surprised.
