Auto storing of email address

[dewsbury]

Hi,

Greetings from Ireland!

I am hoping to resolve this with out the use of VBA etc.

I have a single access table which I intend populating by the receipt of outlook emails from users.

The automatic populating of the access table based on outlook emails seems to work fine.

I would like to do the following;

Add a new field onto my database table called "Email_From".
This field will automatically hold the outlook email addresses of the sender.
(I.e. the sender of the email does not need to key their address into the form).

(This post was also made in "utteraccess")

What purpose is this going to serve when you can obtain this info from Outlook itself. Sounds like you arfe trying to re-invent the wheel.

Hi David ,

Thanks for your response.

I will use my access database to maintain requests that I may get from hundreds of outlook users. I.e. they email their request to me and it goes directly into my access table.

I need a field on my access table to hold the email address of the sender.
For convenience the email address needs to be in the database.
