[RESOLVED] Saving attachments from emails

Hi all,

I need to save attachments that arrive from a particular email address.
I have made a rule that will move the email to a folder and now i need a macro that will save the attachment in the mail to a folder on the hard disk.

I have found this code but i'm getting an error message when i'm runing it.

Code:

---

Sub SaveAttachmentsToFolder()

On Error GoTo SaveAttachmentsToFolder_err
' Declare variables
    Dim ns As NameSpace
    Dim Inbox As MAPIFolder
    Dim SubFolder As MAPIFolder
    Dim Item As Object
    Dim Atmt As Attachment
    Dim FileName As String
    Dim i As Integer
    Dim varResponse As VbMsgBoxResult
    Set ns = GetNamespace("MAPI")
    Set Inbox = ns.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
    Set SubFolder = Inbox.Folders("test") ' Enter correct subfolder name.
    i = 0
' Check subfolder for messages and exit of none found
    If SubFolder.Items.Count = 0 Then
        MsgBox "There are no messages in the Sales Reports folder.", vbInformation, _
              "Nothing Found"
        Exit Sub
    End If
' Check each message for attachments
    For Each Item In SubFolder.Items
        For Each Atmt In Item.Attachments
' Check filename of each attachment and save if it has "xls" extension
            If Right(Atmt.FileName, 3) = "txt" Then
            ' This path must exist! Change folder name as necessary.
                FileName = "C:\test\" & _
                    Format(Item.CreationTime, "yyyymmdd_hhnnss_") & Atmt.FileName
                Atmt.SaveAsFile FileName
                i = i + 1
            End If
        Next Atmt
    Next Item
' Show summary message
    If i > 0 Then
        varResponse = MsgBox("I found " & i & " attached files." _
        & vbCrLf & "I have saved them into the C:\test." _
        & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Would you like to view the files now?" _
        , vbQuestion + vbYesNo, "Finished!")
' Open Windows Explorer to display saved files if user chooses
        If varResponse = vbYes Then
            Shell "Explorer.exe /e,C:\test", vbNormalFocus
        End If
    Else
        MsgBox "I didn't find any attached files in your mail.", vbInformation, "Finished!"
    End If
' Clear memory
SaveAttachmentsToFolder_exit:
    Set Atmt = Nothing
    Set Item = Nothing
    Set ns = Nothing
    Exit Sub
' Handle Errors
SaveAttachmentsToFolder_err:
    MsgBox "An unexpected error has occurred." _
        & vbCrLf & "Please note and report the following information." _
        & vbCrLf & "Macro Name: GetAttachments" _
        & vbCrLf & "Error Number: " & Err.Number _
        & vbCrLf & "Error Description: " & Err.Description _
        , vbCritical, "Error!"
    Resume SaveAttachmentsToFolder_exit


End Sub

http://xs842.xs.to/xs842/09320/vberr548.jpg

I'm using outlook 2003

Any help will be appreciated.

comment this line

'On Error GoTo SaveAttachmentsToFolder_err

now tell me where exactly are you getting the error?

I recieve this error once i try to run the macro (F5).

yes, like i said comment that line and then run the macro and then tell me where exactly are you getting the error?

:-)

Sorry for misunderstand.

I'll do it tomorrow since i have already left work.

Thanks for now.

Ok,

I have comment the line and it runs perfectly :-)

But now, i need it to be automatically and not only when i run the macro. Any idea how ti accomplish that?
