Import from Outlook without form?

[Learning as I go]

Is it possible to program Access to import a certain type of email without
using a form?
I have a software program that is set to automatically send an email in a
set format once certain requirements are made. I would like to be able to
import this information. The problem is that I can not have the users send
in a specific form since the email comes directly from the software. Does
anyone know if this is even possible? If so, I would LOVE any suggestions on
how to set this up!

Not entirely sure about 2010, but previous versions of Access have no table-
level events. You would need to create a hidden form and use the OnTimer
event to check your inbox and import the emails/records you wanted.
