Using Access 2003 & Outlook 2003.

After having received one or more emails in Outlook, is there any way
I can view a specific email from within the Access database, perhaps
using a Hyperlink field or VBA code. I can write some code to copy the
contents of emails into Access but I don't think this would work for
emails that contain images, HTML formatted code, etc.

Is this even possible, is there some sort of 'view' facility in
Outlook that doesn't require Outlook to be loaded.

TIA

To view an Outlook item you need to open Outlook.

If you store all the data from an Outlook item in a database table then you
can use an Access form you design to display the stored data, otherwise no
matter what you try you need to use Outlook to display Outlook items.

Thanks Ken, I suspected as much.
