Your right, that is what you just did.
I am only replying to my initial post for the future me's that search and find this....
Initially I created a function in Outlook that that checks for items in the inbox.
What i was attempting to do was from an Access db, open Outlook and run the Function from Outlook.
However, when i moved the Outlook Function to Access (have to make a couple tweeks) I was able to open Access, and run the function within Access that modified Outlook as i saw fit.
I hope this helps anyone in a similar situation.
Thank you
