I have some VBA code that saves attachments from a message. The process
works great. What I want to do is though is to tell it to perform this
action on the message just received.
Currently, there is a rule that sends any message that fits the criteria to
a folder and then runs the script below, which in turn calls the sub for the
attachements.
When the SaveAttachment sub runs, it runs on whatever message was last
selected, not the message that just came in. How do I point the code to the
message that just came in?
Code:
Sub SaveAtt(MyMail As MailItem)
SaveAttachment
End Sub
Sub SaveAttachment()
'Declaration
Dim myItems, myItem, myAttachments, myAttachment As Object
Dim myOrt As String
Dim myOlApp As New Outlook.Application
Dim myOlExp As Outlook.Explorer
Dim myOlSel As Outlook.Selection
'Ask for destination folder
myOrt = "Q:\Finance\PJ\"
'On Error Resume Next
'work on selected items
Set myOlExp = myOlApp.ActiveExplorer
Set myOlSel = myOlExp.Selection
'for all items do...
For Each myItem In myOlSel
'point on attachments
Set myAttachments = myItem.Attachments
'if there are some...
If myAttachments.Count > 0 Then
'add remark to message text
myItem.Body = myItem.Body & vbCrLf & _
"Removed Attachments:" & vbCrLf
'for all attachments do...
For i = 1 To myAttachments.Count
'save them to destination
myAttachments(i).SaveAsFile myOrt & _
myAttachments(i).DisplayName
'add name and destination to message text
myItem.Body = myItem.Body & _
"File: " & myOrt & _
myAttachments(i).DisplayName & vbCrLf
Next i
'for all attachments do...
While myAttachments.Count > 0
'remove it (use this method in Outlook XP)
'myAttachments.Remove 1
'remove it (use this method in Outlook 2000)
myAttachments(1).Delete
Wend
'save item without attachments
myItem.Save
End If
Next
'free variables
Set myItems = Nothing
Set myItem = Nothing
Set myAttachments = Nothing
Set myAttachment = Nothing
Set myOlApp = Nothing
Set myOlExp = Nothing
Set myOlSel = Nothing
End Sub
Thanks!
