Accessing Outlook XP email message attachments from access

M

Mike

I have a ton of email in Outlook XP encrypted using Outlook Advanced
Security. These messages have attachments. Due to our company being
bought by another and the transition of our mail systems from Exchange
to something else, I will not be able to use my digital ID to open
these messages after the server is transitioned.

Thus, the goal: I want to import all my outlook messages into MS Access
XP, dumping the attachments to any emails on a file server and saving a
link to the attachment location.

The problem: Using the outook object model and VBA from within outlook,
I can get at the attachments (e.g. mailitem.attachments.item(x)) but
ONLY for the unencrypted emails. I have found no way to manipulate the
encrypted emails. From MS Access I can get much of the information
associated with an encrypted email using DAO or ADO, but I can't figure
out how to get at the attachments.

I have a MS Access solution that uses DAO that imports all the
information and dumps all the attachments exactly as I want - but it
bombs on encrypted emails and I can't figure out how to solve this.
Can anyone help????

Thanks, Mike
