With used macro the saved date is incorrect, how can I make sure this is correct?

Hi,

I use the macro below to save a selection of e-mail attachements. (thanks to gmayor)

Code:

---

Option Explicit
Public Sub saveAttachToDisk()
   
    Dim objAtt As Outlook.Attachment
    Dim olMsg As Outlook.MailItem
    Dim strDate As String
    Dim strName As String
    Dim lngAns As Long
    Dim oFrm As UserForm1
    Const saveFolder1 As String = "C:\Temp\Test1\"
    Const saveFolder2 As String = "C:\Temp\Test2\"
    Const saveFolder3 As String = "C:\Temp\Test3\"
   
   
    On Error Resume Next
    Set olMsg = ActiveExplorer.Selection.Item(1)
    strDate = Format(Now, " yyyy-mm-dd")
    For Each objAtt In olMsg.Attachments
            Set oFrm = New UserForm1
            With oFrm
                .Caption = "Select Save Option"
                .CommandButton1.Caption = "Doorgaan"
                .CommandButton2.Caption = "Opslaan afbreken"
                .TextBox1.Text = objAtt.FileName
                .OptionButton1.Caption = "Opslaan in Verkooporders"
                .OptionButton2.Caption = "Customer 1"
                .OptionButton3.Caption = "Customer 1"
                .OptionButton4.Caption = "Niet opslaan"
                .OptionButton4.Value = True
                .Show
                If .Tag = 0 Then GoTo lbl_Exit
                strName = oFrm.TextBox1.Text
                Select Case True
                Case Is = .OptionButton1.Value
                    objAtt.SaveAsFile saveFolder1 & strName
                Case Is = .OptionButton2.Value
                    objAtt.SaveAsFile saveFolder2 & strName
                Case Is = .OptionButton3.Value
                    objAtt.SaveAsFile saveFolder3 & strName
                Case Else
                End Select
            End With
            Unload oFrm
    Next objAtt
lbl_Exit:
    Set oFrm = Nothing
    Set objAtt = Nothing
    Set olMsg = Nothing
    Exit Sub
End Sub

The code works perfectly, but the saved date (see picture below) is the date and time the e-mail was send instead of the date and time the file was saved.
Is it possible to use the date and time of the moment of saving instead of the moment the e-mail was send?

The code you have listed includes a variable strDate which is the date now

Code:

---

strDate = Format(Now, " yyyy-mm-dd")

---

This isn't used in the macro, but can be added to the filename e.g.

Code:

---

strName = strDate & Chr(32) & oFrm.TextBox1.Text

---

If you save an attachment, the filedate should be the sate it was saved.

e.g. I saved the following attachment a few minutes ago:

Attachment 19043

I changed the code to use the strDate
and tried to save another document to see what the date is
Attachment 19045

as you can see it is still the time at which the mail was send.
maybe you tried the code with an e-mail that was just send?

Hi,

I read on another forum that SetFileDateTime could be the solution to the problem.
Unfortunately, I cannot build this into my code myself because I'm not that good at writing code.

Is there anyone who could try this for me?

Thanks
