Is there any way to either export a word doc attachment in oulook 2003
straight to an access 2003 database (to an ole object field) or import the
doc attachment while in access from outlook? Thanks

I suppose you could do it by automating Outlook and saving the file
somewhere and then using that to store it in an OLE field, but WHY?
It's going to make your database bloat like mad. Why not just save
the file in a folder people have read rights to and create a link to
it?
