Comment on Outlook rule to save attachments to a web directory by apar

Thanks for the code. The code works fine a few times. Some times the attachments are not saved.
I debugged and figured out what the issue was. Most of the items the mail item does not have attachments. In my opinion, that is because, the code gets activated even before the mail attachment gets downloaded completely. Is there anyway, I can get the rule to act a few seconds after the mail arrives than right away?

Thanks

This was extremely helpful for what i needed. I have a few question on this as far as the functions I need to use this for:

1. I am trying to put this file in a ftp network so what i would have to do is change this line strFolderPath to something else but I was unsure how to code it to a specific networking pathway through an EI directoty

2. The file names and formats are specific in the manner they are sent.. i was curious if this would work for that:
strFilename = Item.Subject & ” ” & Format(CDate(Now), “yyyy_MM_dd”) & “.pdf”

as far as the format ..it would be “wildcard_wildcard_ATMC” “wildcard_wildcard_OHT”

They are send by subject lines in the the first twofield attributes but are distinguished to wish EI path by the “_OHT” attribute

Any help you could provide would be appreciative.

@Thantos
I would like to pull both “pdf” and “tif” attachment out to a folder – how would I modify the script to do this?

Thank you, this is perfect. I have Google Analytics set up to email PDFs of my visitor data on a weekly basis. With close to 10 websites that I monitor regularly, this enabled me to have the files automatically downloaded to a single directory.

Works perfectly in MS Outlook 2010
Just modified the path to where my files are to be stored and replaced “htm” to “pdf” where appropriate.

Thank you for this!

Thanks for sharing. I am using this to file my receipts: I want to take a picture from my phone and send it to myself. I had to edit the folder location where I wanted my attachments saved as well as the attachment extension. It is working great.

In Windows 7, go to Control Panel -> Clock, Language, and Region -> Region and Language -> click “Additional settings…”, and change the value next to “List separator:”

This isn’t working for me. The rule is moving the emails to a folder, but it isn’t saving the attachments. The first time I manually ran the rule it asked for permission to run the script due to security, and I allowed it. This is the line I have edited in the code. It’s a valid path. Nothing is being saved to disk.
strRootFolderPath = “e:\backup\”

This code was exactly waht I was looking for. However I want to add one thing. How do I run a an mdb file after I have this code save a txt file?

I am going to use this to save incoming text files, but I need to run an mdb file to add them to my database.
