:dunno :banghead: Hello

I've found this macro, but it is not working, maybe I've done something wrong, where to paste the code.....

Thanks for your help

Sub SaveAllAttachments(objitem As MailItem)
Dim objMessage As Object
Dim objHighlighted As Outlook.Items
Dim objAttachments As Outlook.Attachments
Dim strName, strLocation As String
Dim dblCount, dblLoop As Double
' If you are using this code you will need to edit this
' line so that it matches the location within outlook
' of the folder you intend to scan
' NOTE!! Only edit the "Personal Folders\Processing..."

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Set fld = GetFolder("Personal Folders\Processing...")
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

Set objHighlighted = fld.Items ' Tell it what to scan
' This is the location of the folder I want to save my attachments to
' You will most likely need to edit this to match the location of
' the folder you intend to save your attachments in.
' NOTE! Only edit C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\macro\

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
strLocation = "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\macro\"

' If attachments exist, save them to the Macro
' folder on the Desktop.

' Now to set my loop to the amount of attachments
' on the current email the script is processing.
dblCount = objAttachments.Count
If dblCount <= 0 Then GoTo 100 ' If no attachments exsist
' go to the next email.
' I know this part looks weird...But If I counted
' upwards, the script was not recognizing every
' email and was skipping like half of them. By

' These lines are going to retrieve the name of the
' attachment, attach the strID to it to insure it is
' a unique name, and then insure that the file
' extension is appended to the end of the file name.
strName = objAttachments.Item(dblLoop).FileName 'Get attachment name
strExt = Right$(strName, 4) 'Store file Extension
strName = Left$(strName, Len(strName) - 4) 'Remove file Extension

' what to call it

' Save the attachment as a file.

' This next line DELETES the email completly.
' If you do not wish to delete the email
' change this line to read objMessage.Save

'''''''''''''''''''
objMessage.Delete
'''''''''''''''''''

' This section of code is optional. It puts a 1 second
' delay between file saves so that my strID is unique
' for EVERY file. I do this because the script does
' not confirm overwrites and this would be an issue for
' the client I am writing this for. If this is not an
' issue for you, just delete the entire section or
' simply comment it out.
