Mark,

The only 'link' that Access can do is to link a table to another file
(Access or Excel). You can't create a link directly to an attachement in
Outlook. You'll need to copy the attachment to a folder, then create the
link to a table in Access.

Assuming your attachment is an Excel file, you can replace the file with a
new (updated) file of the same name with the same fields and Access will see
the new data.
