>Sometimes too much information is dangerous and defeats its purpose sorry if it wasn't clear. The question I'm looking for an answer: I have outlook retrieving messages. These messages contain information that must update a database upon arrival. This is time sensitive information and I don't have enough time to manually open messages save to csv format. What do I need to get the messages automatically and unattended into a foxpro table?

That sure can be done. I do it for web registrations but the other way. I gather web data then compile body of email and send it through Outlook all from VFP. I think if you look in the Files section and search on Outlook you will find Nigel Coates class that will do what you want. At least it will allow you to interface with outlook via VFP and some code from you. I find it very easy to use.
