Would it be possible to drag and drop an Outlook email (as object or link)
directly from Outlook into a field (of some kind) in an Access Database?

Thanks in advance and regards

The only way I have found to do this is to drag it to the journal
folder holding down the right mouse button, and selecting "Copy here
with shortcut." You can then drag the shortcut on the journal form to
an OLE field in Access. Clicking on the OLE field opens the email.
Works for other items as well (Contact etc.). I don't know why that
works and just dragging the item does not; obviously the technology is
there in some way, but I am not an expert in OLE by any means, and that
seems to be the key. If you find an answer please post.
