Dear All  
  
Can someone advise me whether it is possible to create an Outlook Com Add-in  
  
which is loaded on Outlook startup and has a sub that fires every 5 minutes  
  
checking the inbox and moving email contents to a database? Or is this  
  
possible in VBA alone within Outlook 2000?  
  
My question is more to do with the timer firing mechanisim rather than the  
  
other steps. Do I sublass a timer sub or to I load an invisible form with a  
  
timer? What are the likely problems and possible solutions.  
  
Thanks again.
