Hi James,

If .MSG files are just a message stored in thre original text form that you can use CDO for Windows 2000 to load them and acces it's parts. If you're interested, I've code at work tha does it.

>A fellow at Microsoft was kind enough to give me a bit of code for grabbing Outlook e-mail data from the Inbox, but he is out of the job now. I want to modify it to get the data not from the Outlook Inbox but instead from the message saved in a directory c:\datatemp (as xxx.msg) or from the Windows clipboard (even better).

>*~ Get an object reference to the INBOX (GetDefaultfolder(6))
>goNameSpace = goOlk.GetNameSpace( 'MAPI' )
>goInbox = goNameSpace.GetDefaultfolder(6)
>
>*~ loItems is a reference to the ITEMS collection in the INBOX.
>loItems = goInbox.Items
>liItemCount = loItems.Count
