Hello,
Completely new to this and spent a few hours trying various code from the internet, but still not working how I want.
Basically I want to automate some code to continually run on an email inbox. The code should run every time a new mail is received. If there are no attachments on the mail I want nothing to happen.
If there is an xls or xlsx attachment I want the attachment only to be saved in a folder called say D:\Outlook Rules Test\Excel.
The email should then be moved to another outlook folder called 'Excel Imports' with a link to where the file went to appended to the body of the email.
If there is a csv or txt attachment I want the attachment only to be saved in a folder called say D:\Outlook Rules Test\text.
The email should then be moved to another outlook folder called 'Text Imports' with a link to where the file went to appended to the body of the email.
Is this possible??
So far I have fudged through the following which is doing some of the above, but not all of it by any means so any help or advice would be really appreciated!!
Public Sub SaveAttachments()
Dim objOL As Outlook.Application
Dim objMsg As Outlook.MailItem 'Object
Dim objAttachments As Outlook.Attachments
Dim objSelection As Outlook.Selection
Dim i As Long
Dim lngCount As Long
Dim strFile As String

Set MoveToFolder = ns.Folders("Excel Imports")
strFolderpath = "D:\Outlook Rules Test\Excel\"
On Error Resume Next
' Instantiate an Outlook Application object.
Set objOL = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
' Get the collection of selected objects.
Set objSelection = objOL.ActiveExplorer.Selection
' Check each selected item for attachments. If attachments exist,
' save them to the strFolderPath folder and strip them from the item.
For Each objMsg In objSelection
' This code only strips attachments from mail items.
' If objMsg.class=olMail Then
' Get the Attachments collection of the item.
Set objAttachments = objMsg.Attachments
lngCount = objAttachments.Count
strDeletedFiles = ""
If lngCount > 0 Then
' We need to use a count down loop for removing items
' from a collection. Otherwise, the loop counter gets
' confused and only every other item is removed.
For i = lngCount To 1 Step -1
If Right(objAttachments.FileName, 4) = "xlsx" Then
' Save attachment before deleting from item.
' Get the file name.
strFile = objAttachments.Item(i).FileName
' Combine with the path to the Temp folder.
strFile = strFolderpath & strFile
' Save the attachment as a file.
objAttachments.Item(i).SaveAsFile strFile
'write the save as path to a string to add to the message
'check for html and use html tags in link
If objMsg.BodyFormat <> olFormatHTML Then
strDeletedFiles = strDeletedFiles & vbCrLf & "<file://" & strFile & ">"
Else
strDeletedFiles = strDeletedFiles & "<br>" & "<a href='file://" & _
strFile & "'>" & strFile & "</a>"
End If
'Use the MsgBox command to troubleshoot. Remove it from the final code.
'MsgBox strDeletedFiles
End If
Next i
' Adds the filename string to the message body and save it
' Check for HTML body
If objMsg.BodyFormat <> olFormatHTML Then
objMsg.Body = vbCrLf & "The file(s) were saved to " & strDeletedFiles & vbCrLf & objMsg.Body
