When setting a outlook.message object to a email that has base64 code

"...setting a outlook.message object to a email..."

It doesn't matter which Office application that you're using to manipuate
another. If you're developing code in Access to manipulate Outlook it is
*EXACTLY* the same as if you're developing the code directly in Outlook.
Technically, Access (or Word, Excel, etc) does not control or run Outlook. It
(and the other Apps) simply have the ability to create an instance of Outlook
(or the other apps) and execute the various methods and properties
inheirent(sp?) to that application.

If the issue is related to the application that you're trying to manipulate,
you need to ask that specific newsgroup as its in there that the experts
reside. Just because a person is adept in Access doesn't mean that they're
adept in Outlook, Word, Excel or any other MS app that supports VBA. While
there are many MVP's here that can bounce between apps, there are still
others that have limited experience in working with the other applications. I
can tell you that when the reach the limit of the knowledge that turn MVP's
for the other apps.

If you want to know if its sunny in Chicago, you can either call someone in
Chicago directly or call someone in New York and be transfered to Chicago.
Either way, you're still relying on Chicago to find out the weather.
