Hi All,

 

I'm trying to create a workflow with an Outlook Email as an input. So I link my inbox outlook data in Microsoft Access but getting this error message. " Input Data (2) InboundNamedPipe GetOverlappedResult: The pipe has been ended. ¶

TIA.

Hi @arjundelara 

Not sure how's your setup via Access, but did you tried this Outlook Tools?

Other thing you can try is this great post by the greatest @MargaritaW here (this one uses Access):

Hope this helps pointing you in the right direction.

Not sure what may cause that error trying to download the tools (I'm attaching a fresh download to this post).

 

Another Question: Do you have the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable installed?

Maybe you need to check with IT Support and have an administrator logged in to allow installations.

Hi @Aguisande ,

 

I raise it but the reply of the IT is that is restricted to install.

 

Thank you!
