receive fax and email.

[Rohalt Bos]

Does anyone knows how to read received email so I can
try to analyze the message and insert the information in a
table.

The same for faxes. How can I recive a fax, if possible,
and store this in a database or analyze it.

I hope that somebody knows.
Would be a great help.

With kind regards.

I know you can attach to Outlook using access. from there you should be
able to look at the mail and pick it apart. I think you can attach to
outlook just as you can excel or sql server.

Lance/Rohalt:

While that is true of a mail item, it won't be true of a fax. A fax is
normally stored as an image in a TIFF file and parsing that would be beyond
most VB situations.

Thanx.

I already know how to get the inbox in access.
But for some reason I can't get VB to open a mail item.

If I do it by hand (mouse) I can just klick the item and
it opens. But I can't even get VB to select a mail item.
Let alone open it.

Need this for the following reason:

I want to send a card to people with email.
and if they reply the card with (within a predefined area)
a comment.

I want to process this automaticly in a database.

So therefore I need to access the inbox and open the
mail items (primarly mail item body) and be able to
set the mail item status (read). And be able to select the
next mail item.

Problem:
can't open mail item (body)
can't change mail item selection

Maybe you hav a idea or sourcecode example.

With kind regards
