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       Size

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
