Read custom task request form
Please help!
I am new to Outlook VBA developing and need assistance with a project I am on. Here is what I have done so far.. 1. Created a custom task form that I assign and send to a generic mailbox 2. The end user opens the task and fills in data on P.2 page of the custom form and accepts. 3. The task returns to my mailbox with the data filled in. I am trying to access the custom unbound field data to read into MS Access. If anyone can steer me in the right direction It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Edro61

Data in unbound fields won't be transmitted back to your mailbox. It disappears as soon as the item closes.

Thank you for the reply Sue.
I have received the task accepted reply with the custom data and you are correct that after I open it it will dissappear. Can it be extracted without opening from outlook?

You need to use bound controls if you want the user to be able to enter data that Outlook saves with the item.
Data that is in Outlook can be extracted only when Outlook is running. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "edro61" wrote in message oups.com...

Sorry! What I meant to say is that when I open the message in the
inbox, The data is there. But when I close the message the it disappears. Should I be extracting from a mailitem or a taskitem? Thanks again Edro61 edro61 wrote: Thank you for the reply Sue.

I honestly don't know. I've never tried to gather data from a task request acceptance. I'd throw Outlook Spy or MFCMAPI at it and see if there's anything there to gather.
