I have a system that sends me an email with an attached file that I need to process through an Access database. I want to automate the process so I don't have to touch it. My problem is getting the attached excel file in the email to automatically save when the email is received. Any ideas if this can be done?

It is said that God will give you no more than you can handle. I just wish God didn't have so much faith in me.
 

If you write a script to save the attachment you can trigger the script from an outlook rule that way you can specify where the e-mail comes from etc before the script is run.
