save pictures in emails

J

Jules

In outlook 2003, if I right clicked on an image in an email, I was given a
number of options, including "save as". I could then save the image as a
bitmap.
I upgraded to outlook 2007 and it was the same for a while until today. When
I right click on an image in an email, I now get only one option - "copy".
When I paste to the destination file it saves as "scrap". How do I get the
origional settings back?

Outlook 2007 did have the option to save an embedded picture as a bmp, and I
was happy with that. I just want that functionality back. I f necessary I
will go back to office 2003

I followed all the instructions on the "how to page". When I click on the
macro button, a window comes up asking me to choose a folder. I choose a
folder, press "ok". The window disappears, nothing else happens and nothing
is saved in the folder. (Outlook 2007)
Any suggestions ?

Not really. The code is fully functional. To what folder are you saving?
What is the full path?
Above the rule objAttachment.SaveAsFile (FolderPath & "\" & MyFile) write
the following line of code;
MsgBox ("Saving file: " & FolderPath & "\" & MyFile)

Now you can see if the folderpath is being retrieved correctly and is an
actual path.

If you require follow up send a direct mail as I'll be offline for the rest
of the week.

I have made the change, but still no joy.

I created a folder in "My Documents" called "AAATEST"
When the window "Browse For Folder" comes up, I direct to this folder.
Nothing happens.
