Hi Folks.
i've cobbled together some code that should save xls email attachments.. but it doesn't seem to work.
When I run it, it highlights the first line in yellow and gives me the
"Compile error: User-defined type not defined" error box.
...but it looks like the standard opening for saving email attachments from Outlook (2003)... any idea why this is happening/how to fix?!
Many thanks, Lijon.
