Importing Outlook attachments

[DHIGHTO]

Hey guys,

I'm trying to determine if it is possible to automatically import attachments from outlook emails into Access. Does anyone know if this is possible? I would think it would require VBA code.


Thanks

I think you're right. I started with the Saving an Email Attachment code here:

So I found a a VBA code for exporting the attachments to a folder. Unfortunetly, my daily attachments are named the same so I have to set up a naming convention.

Here is my code. I tried to add msgitem.receivedtime to the file name to add email received time, but thats not working. Any suggestions?

' Save any attachments found
For Each Atmt In Item.Attachments
' This path must exist! Change folder name as necessary.
' FileName = "C:\Email Attachments\" & Atmt.FileName
'if want to add a filter:
'If Right(Atmt.FileName, 3) = "xls" Then

FileName = WheretosaveFolder & "\" & Atmt.FileName & msgItem.ReceivedTime
Atmt.SaveAsFile FileName
i = i + 1
Next Atmt
Next Item


Thanks
