Outlook 2003 Rules

[RichardSchollar]

Hi

I would like to create a Rule which would automatcially save down an
attachment on receipt of a message from a specified sender.

Being rather unfamiliar with Outlook could someone confirm that this
is possible? Having looked over the Rules wizard I see the option to
Run a script in the wizard but I see no way to actually do this - does
this relate to VBA or VBScript existing in a file outside of Outlook
(or something else). Is this the correct area (ie running Rules
scripts) the correct way to go about this?

Thanks for any help!

Do you mean save the attachment to a location outside the outlook data file?

 

[RichardSchollar]

Yes, basically save the attachment to a directory folder.

Yes, basically save the attachment to a directory folder.

There are third-party add-ins you can buy for that. See

Hardly, but it's one of the definitive Outlook knowledge sites, so it's easy
to recommend.
