    OLE to Store Outlook EMail Objects in Access

    I've created a MS Access form and get the exact same results as below?
    Now, I believe it has something to do with storing EMails, not OLE.
    I will appreciate any help!

    ---------------------------------------------------------------

    I've created a form with an OLE obect linked to a MS Access OLE
    Object. I need to store an email from Outlook in the field.

    Everything works fine if I drop the email on my desktop and then pick
    it up and drop it onto OLE object in the VB form. If I drag the email
    directly from outlook on the VB form, it will not accept it.

    Can anyone tell me how to do this? It's not pratical to make the user
    drop the email on the desktop every time.


    Thanks

      This whole plan sounds like WAY too much work. Why not just link to
      the Messages folder and then you can treat it like a normal Access
      table. Will that not serve your purposes?

          You know, that's a good idea! Thanks for a point in the obvious
          direction. Never get wrapped around the solution axel.
