Sorry! What I meant to say is that when I open the message in the
inbox, The data is there. But when I close the message the it
disappears.

Should I be extracting from a mailitem or a taskitem?

Thanks again

Thank you for the reply Sue.

I have received the task accepted reply with the custom data and you
are correct that after I open it it will dissappear.
Can it be extracted without opening from outlook?

Thanks again

Data in unbound fields won't be transmitted back to your mailbox. It disappears as soon as the item closes.

Please help!

I am new to Outlook VBA developing and need assistance with a project I
am on.
Here is what I have done so far..

1. Created a custom task form that I assign and send to a generic
mailbox
2. The end user opens the task and fills in data on P.2 page of the
custom form and accepts.
3. The task returns to my mailbox with the data filled in.

I am trying to access the custom unbound field data to read into MS
Access.

If anyone can steer me in the right direction It would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
