Hi,all

I have a need to obtain a copy of a file that is contained in a folder (say
hold) in my personal folder structure of outlook. The file would then be
transferred to a folder in my access file structure so that I can utilise it
within my database.

My idea is that a user would click on a button within access to launch
either pickfolder or modOpenSaveFile or clsCommonDialog dialog window to
navigate to the folder(Hold) and the open / save routine would be able to
save it to say c:\TempHold.

I have found a code example regarding setting a reference to an exchange
public folder.

However I do not have a enough knowledge of outlook to expand on it.
Hence I would be most grateful for any help.

Send a request to if you can program and
understand VBA code.

K. I doubt an Access app can be attached to a newsgroup message. Good
luck in your search.
