attaching email to a record?

[annie techwriter]

Is there any way to attach an Outlook email to an Access record?

The text fields on the form I created aren't long enough for the amount of
information we need, so I'd like to be able to somehow attach pertinent
emails to the record (drag and drop? import?) that can then just be clicked
on and opened from the form.

Any ideas? or any way to make my text fields very very long?

You can use the Memo type for your text fields, which can hold much
more text.

That would be much easier than linking to email files.
