Save email attachment and prefix with part of email subject
Hi all,
I'm new to the forum and this is my first post.
I have been given a piece of code for saving an attachment to a local folder if the email is moved into a specific folder in outlook. I've seen similar code on this forum so that may be where they got it from in the first place; if so, all credit goes to them.
Code:
Option Explicit
Dim WithEvents TargetFolderItems As Items
Const FILE_PATH As String = "\\tcc-fileserver\data extracts$\Engage Hub\"
Private Sub Application_Startup()
Dim ns As Outlook.NameSpace
Set ns = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set TargetFolderItems = ns.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Folders("Extracts").Items
End Sub
Sub TargetFolderItems_ItemAdd(ByVal Item As Object)
Dim olAtt As Attachment
Dim i As Integer
If Item.Attachments.Count > 0 Then
For i = 1 To Item.Attachments.Count
Set olAtt = Item.Attachments(i)
olAtt.SaveAsFile FILE_PATH & olAtt.FileName
Next
End If
Set olAtt = Nothing
End Sub
Private Sub Application_Quit()
Dim ns As Outlook.NameSpace
Set TargetFolderItems = Nothing
Set ns = Nothing
End Sub
What I would ideally like to do is:
- Move all emails which contain EngageHub to a specific folder in Outlook (Inbox/Extracts). I can do this with rules if it is not worth doing in VBA
- Prefix the attachment name with the beginning of the Email Subject (the Email subject will contain the group name which will usually be formatted as GroupName1_EngageHub_ddMMyyyy. The attachment is usually just called EngageHub_ddMMyyyy.
- Download the attachment to a local folder ("\\tcc-fileserver\data extracts$\Engage Hub"). The above code can do this for me.
My main issue is referencing the Outlook message subject. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
