Default Open an Attachment

You'll have to save the attachment to a file before you can get a full handle
to the item in the Outlook Object Model. Use CreateItemFromTemplate and pass
the file path to retrieve it.

We are using Outlook oft forms to process requests. The forms are sent
to a mailbox where the data is extracted to an Access database via VBA.
Generally this works and there is no issue with most of the forms.

Here is my issue:
Sometimes the oft documents are sent as attachments. How do I:
Read the attachment (oft form), or
move the attachment to a folder.

I need to get the data from these forms into the database. I can
manually open each of the attachments and move the form into a folder
where I can process normally.
