> Do you mean you want to use POP3 to retrieve emails and store them inside your Access application? Or get Access to trigger the email client to download and store the messages. Well, it really depends on what I am doing. I think pull down the emails and allow Access to "read them". Just as an example one client will be sending out email to volunteers working an event. I would like to set up some sort of "opt-out" where they could reply with a code in the subject which would cause me to remove them from the list. In other cases I might send out a word document which the user could open and fill out and then return. I have never done either of these things so I am not exactly sure where I can take this. Basically I need to be able to pull in emails into a lightweight automatable client and do things with them. I automate Outlook for clients, but I cannot be certain that the user of any given app will own outlook. At a minimum I would like to be able to read the from, subject and also see attachments.
