I am having a problem dragging an e-mail attachment directly from Outlook 2003 to an Access 2003 record. The record is set to be OLE and embedded and the update is set to Automatic. I can save the attachment to my computer and then drag it into the record but i want to skip that step. Is there anything i can do to get this to work?
 
Ok, i never got a response but i think i found out what is happening. I can drag any file type i want into the ole field of the record in access except when the e-mail was sent as a plain text e-mail.
