    Data from outlook to excel

    Hi all,

    Please can I run a problem past you?

    I believe its programming related so thats why I am pleading for your help ...

    I need to interpret some data. The data is in the form of 1000 emails, all carying a similar format, i.e headings and text. I would like to export the text, from outlook email format into an excel spreadsheet. The spread sheet then needs to seperate the fields, i.e each of the headings needs to be in a seperate column.

    The text below is an example of the form.

    Appreciate any comments.

    thanks

    Andrew

    You can drive Outlook from Excel by making a reference to the Outlook object library and then creating an Outlook.Application object. In your code you can then find out the text in each message and copy the relevant bits into Excel for further processing.

    When I've done this sort of thing in the past, I've found that its useful to put all of the e-mails into a single Outlook folder so that you can use the methods of the object to process all of the messages in that folder.

    Martin,

    Thanks for your response. Unfortunately I am not proficient enough to be able to develop the cod. Any chance you could point me in the right direction?

    thanks
