Insert Outlook Message into Excel cell
I am attempting to inset and Outlook message into a cell in Excel. This is to
enable me to keep a log of e-mails for particular topics and to store them within Excel so that I could double-click within the spreadsheet and bring up the e-mail. Have tried copying, pasting, importing, linking all to no avail. Any further ideas/help or perhaps a way to do in Access? |

I recently posted something like this in the dutch NG. It searched for a string in the subjects of the inbox (optionally filters to current month) then adds a hyperlink to the message. It uses a class module to trap the"search complete" event from outlook, which may be a bit over your head.. Give it a try anyway.. INSERT A CLASSMODULE note: CLASS module!! in properties window name it : COutlookSearch Copy: Option Explicit Dim WithEvents olApp As Outlook.Application Const tagSS = "SubjectSearch" Sub SubjectSearch(sSubject$, Optional sScope$ = "Inbox", Optional bThisMonth As Boolean) Const csFILTER As String = "urn:schemas:mailheader:subject LIKE '%|s|%'" Dim sFilter$, hLink As Hyperlink For Each hLink In ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks If hLink.Range.Column = 1 Then hLink.Range.Clear hLink.Delete End If Next Set olApp = New Outlook.Application sFilter = Replace(csFILTER, "|s|", sSubject) If bThisMonth Then sFilter = sFilter & " AND %thismonth(urn:schemas:httpmail:datereceived)%" End If Call olApp.AdvancedSearch(sScope, sFilter, True, tagSS) End Sub Private Sub ProcessSubjectSearch(olSearch As Outlook.Search) Dim i% With olSearch.Results If .Count = 0 Then MsgBox "No items were found", vbExclamation, olSearch.Tag Else For i = 1 To .Count With .Item(i) ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add _ anchor:=ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Cells(i, 1), _ Address:="outlook:" & .EntryID, _ TextToDisplay:=.Subject End With Next End If End With Set olApp = Nothing End Sub Private Sub olApp_AdvancedSearchComplete(ByVal SearchObject As Outlook.Search) Select Case SearchObject.Tag Case tagSS Call ProcessSubjectSearch(SearchObject) Case Else MsgBox "Unknown search has completed. Tag:" & SearchObject.Tag End Select End Sub <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< <<< Next: insert a normal module name it: MEntry copy: Option Explicit Dim mclsOLS As COutlookSearch Sub CreateMailLinks() Set mclsOLS = New COutlookSearch mclsOLS.SubjectSearch "find this subject", , True End Sub <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< <<<< -- keepITcool | www.XLsupport.com | keepITcool chello nl | amsterdam Andy wrote : I am attempting to inset and Outlook message into a cell in Excel.
