    Re: download email attachments based on the subject line and folder names from a work

    from the code it appears it should save all .xls attachments, but does not in anyway use the attachment file name in column A

    depending on the number of emails in outlook folders there may be much better ways than looping all the folder items, you can use the items.restrict method, to limit the number of items to match the subject line
    Code:
        set sitems = subfolder.items.restrict("[subject]='" & subj & "'")
        For Each Item In sitems
            For Each Atmt In Item.Attachments
                If LCase(Right(Atmt.FileName, Len(ExtString))) = LCase(ExtString) Then
                    FileName = DestFolder & Atmt.FileName
                    Atmt.SaveAsFile FileName
                    I = I + 1
                End If
            Next Atmt
        Next Item
    where subj is an additional parameter to the function, from the calling procedure

    ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
    there is no need for this line
    also it would be better not to create an instance of outlook for every line in the worksheet, better to just have one instance and use the for all iterations
    i believe i would just integrate the function in to the main procedure, though you could open an outlook instance in the main procedure, then pass the outlook subfolder to the function

    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed
