Watching the document indexing in D39, it got me thinking about a company email address that all our supplier's email material certs to our QC department. The document index system will work great to search these cert forms.
My question is, can you make outlook automatically save attachments from a specific email account to a specific file folder? That way the end user doesn't have to go to each email and do a save as to get the cert into a file folder before adding it to the index system.
I would bet that it's possible. I have Outlook setup on my "database server" PC (which is just a laptop on the shelf running Access and Outlook). My business emails come in to a special account on that machine (something like [email protected] or whatever) and then Access will connect to Outlook once a minute and pull in any emails that are in that inbox. You can definitely extract attachments. I cover that in Access Email Seminar. Using a specific account isn't something I've done before, but I'll bet it's possible.
