VBA code for Outlook

[geomano]

Hi, I am struggling with creating a macro, which could be used in Outlook. Basically, I would like a macro to search through Inbox, Sent emails and all sub folders in order to search for attachments. In case there are some emails with attachments added, macro will move these emails to specific folder like "Attachments". Perhaps it will be possible to add a filter to choose certain documents types? Sounds slightly difficult, but is it doable? Many thanks.

Here's the code I am using right now. It's searching for all attachments in my Inbox and uploading them into my Documents folder.


Sub Test()
'Arg 1 = Folder name of folder inside your Inbox
'Arg 2 = File extension, "" is every file
'Arg 3 = Save folder, "C:\Users\Ron\test" or ""
' If you use "" it will create a date/time stamped folder for you in your "Documents" folder
' Note: If you use this "C:\Users\Ron\test" the folder must exist.


SaveEmailAttachmentsToFolder "SOL", "", ""
End Sub




Sub SaveEmailAttachmentsToFolder(OutlookFolderInInbox As String, _
ExtString As String, DestFolder As String)
Dim ns As NameSpace
Dim Inbox As MAPIFolder
Dim SubFolder As MAPIFolder
Dim Item As Object
Dim Atmt As Attachment
Dim FileName As String
Dim MyDocPath As String
Dim I As Integer
Dim wsh As Object
Dim fs As Object

Set ns = GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set Inbox = ns.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set SubFolder = ns.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)


I = 0
' Check subfolder for messages and exit of none found
If SubFolder.Items.Count = 0 Then
MsgBox "There are no messages in this folder : " & OutlookFolderInInbox, _
vbInformation, "Nothing Found"
Set SubFolder = Nothing
Set Inbox = Nothing
Set ns = Nothing
Exit Sub
End If


'Create DestFolder if DestFolder = ""
If DestFolder = "" Then
Set wsh = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
MyDocPath = wsh.SpecialFolders.Item("mydocuments")
DestFolder = MyDocPath & "\" & Format(Now, "dd-mmm-yyyy hh-mm-ss")
If Not fs.FolderExists(DestFolder) Then
fs.CreateFolder DestFolder
End If
End If


If Right(DestFolder, 1) <> "\" Then
DestFolder = DestFolder & "\"
End If


' Check each message for attachments and extensions
For Each Item In SubFolder.Items
For Each Atmt In Item.Attachments
If LCase(Right(Atmt.FileName, Len(ExtString))) = LCase(ExtString) Then
FileName = DestFolder & Item.SenderName & " " & Atmt.FileName
Atmt.SaveAsFile FileName
I = I + 1
End If
Next Atmt
Next Item


' Show this message when Finished
If I > 0 Then
MsgBox "You can find the files here : " _
& DestFolder, vbInformation, "Finished!"
Else
MsgBox "No attached files in your mail.", vbInformation, "Finished!"
End If
