    Havesting data from Outlook

    We sent out an email blast, around a 1,500 addresses. As expected there was a large number of rejects. I would love to automate the process of making a list of those bad email addresses. Looking at the body of the email I'm not sure this would be possible. The alternative is to open each email and copy the addresses into an Excel file or an Access table.



    Any ideas on this?

    If they're consistent, I can envision using the Split() function on the body and grabbing the 3rd line.

    Thanks Paul

    I hate to plead ignorance, but I have no experience sifting through emails from Access. I'm not even sure where to begin. Any guidance on this subject or link to a detailed discussion? I'm thinking of how to access the collection and the properties. We've put all the emails in a separate folder.

    specifically the "Saving an Email Attachment" code.
