    Save attachments with subject name

    Hi, hoping this is a quick fix. I'm using this macro to save attachments as they arrive in to a mailbox. I'd like to attachments to include to subject as well as the document name. Is this possible?

    Thanks

    Sub FindFilesAndMove()    Dim MyFolder As String, MyFile As String, srchStr As String, DestFoldFull As String, FSO As Object, rCell As Range
        Dim DestFold As String
        
        Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.Filesystemobject")
        MyFolder = "Y:\accounts\Conv slips\" '<<< change to suit
        DestFold = "Y:\accounts\Conv slips\Completions packs\" 
        
        For Each rCell In Range("A2:A" & Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).Cells
            MyFile = Dir(MyFolder)
            srchStr = rCell.Value
            DestFoldFull = DestFold & srchStr & "\"
            MkDir DestFoldFull
            Do While MyFile <> ""
                If InStr(MyFile, srchStr) Then
                    FSO.MoveFile Source:=MyFolder & MyFile, Destination:=DestFoldFull & MyFile
                End If
            MyFile = Dir
            Loop
        Next rCell
    End Sub

    Your code doesn't appear to have anything to do with attachments?
    If you want to save attachments from Outlook messages as they arrive and include the message subject, this may create issues relating to illegal filename characters, and in some cases excessive string length. However the following will correct the former and when run from a Rule to identify the messages to process, will save the message attachments to the named folder as they arrive in the inbox. I have included a test macro to test the code:
    Option Explicit
    
    Sub TestSaveAttachments()
    Dim olMsg As MailItem
        On Error Resume Next
        Select Case Outlook.Application.ActiveWindow.Class
            Case olInspector
                Set olMsg = ActiveInspector.currentItem
            Case olExplorer
                Set olMsg = Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection.Item(1)
        End Select
        SaveAttachments olMsg
    lbl_Exit:
        Exit Sub
    End Sub
    
    Public Sub SaveAttachments(olItem As MailItem)

    Dim strFname As String

    Const strSaveFldr As String = "D:\Path\Attachments\" 'the folder to save the attachments
    
        CreateFolders strSaveFldr
        On Error Resume Next
        If olItem.Attachments.Count > 0 Then
            For j = 1 To olItem.Attachments.Count
                Set olAttach = olItem.Attachments(j)
                If Not olAttach.FileName Like "image*.*" Then
                    strFname = olAttach.FileName
                    strFname = CleanFileName(olItem.Subject & "_" & strFname)
                    strExt = Right(strFname, Len(strFname) - InStrRev(strFname, Chr(46)))
                    strFname = FileNameUnique(strSaveFldr, strFname, strExt)
                    olAttach.SaveAsFile strSaveFldr & strFname
