    i have a VB6 program that needs to open outlook, find a specific email(always from the same person) and open the attachment that accompanies the email (which is an excel document) and my program will then take over from there.

    i have created an outlook object and can open outlook and everything, but i am not sure as how to proceed, have tried googling this but the only sites i have found deal with sending attachments

    any ideas?

    I would have thought you'd use MAPI for something like this, rather than manipulating Outlook as an object.

    But if you're using Outlook, then you need to have a look at the Outlook object model, which will be in the Visual Basic For Applications part of the help which comes with Outlook.
