Is it possible to export emails and attachments to an Access Database from Outlook/Exchange ?

[Adam]

Hi all ,

I'm looking for a neat way of storing my archived emails (rather than using
a .pst file).

Is it possible to export emails and attachments to an Access Database from
Outlook/Exchange ?
any help would be appreciated.

cheers,

Adam

Yes you can. You can use the Import/Export wizard from the File menu. You
can also choose from within Access to import from Outlook.

Hope this helps!

Hey Roady,

thanks for that, one question - does it store the attachments ?

cheers,

Adam

No, it doesn't. When you import from Access it will create a record which
reflects that there was an attachment by displaying a 1 for an attachment or
0 for no attachment.

Some will create a link to the attachment in the message body which of
course will be entered in the Access database.
