Thanks to all who replied

Mmm looks like it may be tricky - I will gratefully try Dan's method and see how
I go

Hi Darren,

In my apps I give users the ability to select from a list of emails from a
folder that they select.  They can then choose to save those emails in .msg
format as an 'attached' file to a specific record.

There is a lot of code to make this work - it's behind two forms.  I can
send those off-line if you'd like.

Dan

Hi all

 

>From MS Outlook (Yes it has to be Outlook) I can drag an item from say.My
Inbox
- to the desktop (or any folder really) and I get to see a *.msg item

I can double click this dot msg item and can then view it in MS Outlook -
cool

 

Anyone know of a control or OCX etc that I can use in MS Access where I do
the
same thing - Drag a Microsoft Outlook item and have it visible in my access
app 

If not that then some kind of pointer with the Subject or such where a
double
click will open the item's OutlookID property

 

I have tried an RTF OCX (RTF2.ocx that Lebans uses in his RTF demo) I have
used
in other apps but when I drag inbox items to it I get some thing like.

 

>From            Subject                                      Received

If this carried with it some sort of pointer - Even this would be enough
then I
could double click it

 

Clutching at straws here

 

Many thanks in advance

 

DD
