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?

For Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable I don't have permission to Install it in my device using.

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

Did it worked? Were you able to fix what you needed?

Hi @Aguisande ,

 

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

 

Thank you!
