NOBODY programs MAPI if they have a choice. CDO has an object model with MAPI underneath it.

Oh well, I need more coffee.

Joe R. -----Original Message----- From: John Colby [mailto:jcolby at colbyconsulting.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2003 1:39 PM To: AccessD Subject: [AccessD] Exchange server My client uses Exchange server. I currently have Outlook running on an employee's workstation, and he receives emails form their client with attachments which have to be processed by the database. On this employee's machine I have a rule in Outlook that moves all emails from their client with a specific subject into a subfolder in Outlook. I then have an instance of Outlook running in the database (Withevents). The database thus gets an event anytime an email comes into that subdirectory. The event sink grabs every message in the subfolder and saves the attachments into a working directory on the server, then copies the email into a sub-sub folder so it isn't processed again. The attachements are two text files and an excel spreadsheet. The text files are imported using an import spec, and the spreadsheet is imported using append queries, linking the spreadsheet to a known name. This all works very well. However we are moving this kind of process onto a server where it will run continuously. We will no longer have to worry about keeping his workstation turned on, power failures, his going on vacation etc. The client has asked me if he needs to have Outlook running on the server or if I can pull the emails out of Exchange Server directly. Can I? John W.
