    How to display an email linked to ms access database

    I have linked the Outlook folder on my Access 2013 database.
    In Access there is no way to display an email so, I would like to display the current email calling MS Outlook but I did not find any solution.
    Is there a MAPI that can be used in Access to display an email?

    Once linked to the table in Outlook, you will need to build your own form to display the content.

      Hi Zmbd
      I made a form but how can I display the email body with html and pictures?
      I thought that with the API, maybe I can open an outlook window like when in Outlook I click twice on an email.
      Many Thanks

        dmarco:
        Why re-invent the wheel when Outlook will do this for you?

        There is a way with application automation to have Outlook open the email for you Automating Outlook from a Visual Basic Application Office 2010

        You'll also want to read this: Application Automation

        I'll leave the code bashing for you to do; however, if you get stuck: FIRST > Before Posting (VBA or SQL) Code THEN post the code, along with the EXACT title, number, and text of any error messages you receive. Please do not alter, omit, nor abreviate the information provided in the error message - INDICATE THE LINE THE ERROR occures on.
