Is this possible?

[David Maggard]

I have a client that wants me to build an easy way for a user to upload an
important email(in outlook) including any attachments to a server so it can
be archived in a DB so they could be searched thru, I would be open to any
clue on how to do it using vba in outlook(have done some vba stuff in Excel
& Access) or thru javascript on a webpage using the com objects(did some
code b4 that added a task to the task list)

This may be a little out of scope for this group.
You may want to post this to:

microsoft.public.outlook.program_forms
microsoft.public.office.developer.outlook.forms
microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba

Would the user(s) be on an Exchange Server? If so, one approach would
be for them to forward a copy of any email they wish to "archive" in the
database to a public folder. Then you can have a process (standalone
program using COM, Outlook using VBA, or even folder-based scripting)
read through that folder and extract the messages/attachments an place
them into a database.

This would have the benefit of a centralized process that doesn't have
to be deployed to each individual Outlook user.

Hope this helps.
