Open specific email message using access

[Paul_B]

Hi,

I've search all over for an answer to this and haven't found anything, so my expectations may be way off...

I have a form linked to an Outlook mailbox folder that i can browse through, select an email and append a table with certain fields from the email.

What I would then like to do is open this specific email (from Access) populate the 'to' and 'from' boxes and send the email onto the relevant person for action etc. How do I open the current email my form is viewing??

(I know they could just switch to outlook and forward etc but would be a much better solution to be able to click a button in Access and have this done automatically - we receive many dozens of emails per day, so small changes to workflows can have a significant impact.)

This sounds simple enough but can it be done?

thanks
Paul.

Am looking for pretty much the same thing I think Paul. I want to display emails sent to and from the current contact in a CRM application. Thats fine can list all of those but how do you open the specific email to read and perform an action on?

Many thanks,

Dan
