Getting Attachments from an E-Mail

[yacyac]

I have no clue on where to begin dealing with e-mail in VB6. I get daily e-mails in Microsoft Outlook ( 1 - 20 per day, all from the same person). They all have an attachment named notify.txt. I am manually saving the attachments as notifyXX.txt, where XX starts at 01 and goes up. I have a VB6 program that then reads the notifyXX.txt files and dumps them into a database.

I would love to be able to push a button in the VB program and have it scan my e-mail and pull all the notify.txt files right into the program. Is there any way of doing this? Again, I have no experience with using VB to deal with e-mail.

Thanks in advance for your time and help.
