    Question Storing outlook emails in access

    Hello all,

    I'm wondering if there is anyway I could drag and drop an email from outlook into a field in access?



    Right now, we are currently taking the email and converting it to PDF, then adding it to an attachment field with the appropriate record it corresponds to.

    I'd like to be able to simply have access and outlook open, and drag the email from my inbox right into access and store it in access, is this possible?

    Drag and drop? I doubt it.

    Thanks for the response June, I was hoping for drag and drop. We'll stay with our current method for now!
