[AccessD] Outlook and Access

What version of Outlook is your client using?  Outlook 2003 has NewMailEx as
an event, which will handle multiple incoming email events.  The help file
has sample code on how to 'capture' the new email coming in, and then you
are simply dealing with working with an .mdb through VBA.

However, you mentioned that you wanted to delete the emails that don't have
a proper code, so am I to assume that this is not a 'users' email address?
If it's not, you would need a machine dedicated to running Outlook for an
'unused' email address.  What would work better there would be a service
running on their mail server.  Are they using an Exchange mail server?  The
service could just monitor that account, and do what you want.  I have built
services like that before.

Subject: [AccessD] Outlook and Access

Dear list:

I have a request from a client to program something in Outlook but I 
have no idea where to start.  Quote:

"If an email comes in with a 6 digit (alphanumeric) code in the Subject 
line, Outlook would make a call to Access, passing along the code and 
then delete the email.  No code, email automatically deleted.  The call 
to access would cause the code to be looked up and a status report 
emailed to the client if the code is current. "

I suppose the receipt of any email would have to trigger this hunk of 
code. 

I've put a lot of code behind Excel sheets to push data into an Access 
database but never from Outlook.  Does anyone know of any code samples, 
snips, explanations, etc. that could get me started on this?

MTIA,
