I've had an Outlook 2016 VBA macro running for a year to check emails arriving in my inbox. Today, following installation of Windows 10 updates, I get a type mismatch error when this macro runs. The error line is the Set olNs = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI") line below:
Private Sub Application_Startup()
Dim olNs As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim Inbox As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim olRecip As Recipient
Dim dt As String
Dim strFile_Path As String
dt = Format(CStr(Now), "yyyy_mmm_dd_hh_mm")
strFile_Path = "d:\temp\parking.log"
Open strFile_Path For Append As #1
Write #1, dt & " " & "Application_Startup() triggered"
Close #1
Set olNs = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set olRecip = olNs.CreateRecipient("me#gmail.com")
Set Inbox = olNs.Folders("me#gmail.com").Folders("Inbox")
Set Items = Inbox.Items
End Sub
Any idea how I can fix this?
First of all, you need to make sure the COM references are set correctly.
You may try to run the code without setting a local variable:
Private Sub Application_Startup()
MsgBox "Welcome, " & Application.GetNamespace("MAPI").CurrentUser
Application.ActiveExplorer.WindowState = olMaximized
End Sub
I just ran into this issue (COM add-ins were fine) and as stated, removing the explicit declaration seems to fix the issue (you can also Dim the Namespace as an Object instead of Outlook.Namespace).
As a quick reference for anyone else I used the following code to bypass the issue:
With Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Dim Inbox As Outlook.MAPIFolder: Set Inbox = .GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Dim Junk As Outlook.MAPIFolder: Set Junk = .GetDefaultFolder(olFolderJunk)
End With

I have the following code which I believe should work to save attachments from an Outlook subfolder to the specified path, before emptying the subfolder.
Sub Downloadattachments()
Dim applOutlook As Outlook.Application
Dim ns As Namespace
Dim inbox As MAPIFolder
Dim item As Object
Dim atmt As Attachment
Dim FileName As String
Dim i As Integer
Dim SubFolder As MAPIFolder
Dim SubSubFolder As MAPIFolder
Dim VariableName As Name
Set ns = GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set inbox = ns.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set SubFolder = inbox.Folders("Paul")
Set SubSubFolder = SubFolder.Folders("Soja")
i = 0
If SubSubFolder.Items.Count = 0 Then
MsgBox
Else: End If
If SubSubFolder.Items.Count > 0 Then
For Each item In SubSubFolder.Items
For Each atmt In item.attachments
FileName = "\\homefolder5\bases" & atmt.FileName
atmt.SaveAsFile FileName
i = i + 1
item.Delete
Next atmt
Next item
End If
End Sub
Unfortunately I don't get past the line Set ns = GetNamespace("MAPI") before encountering the run-time error stating "Automation error: Library not registered". To clarify, I have the Microsoft Outlook 14.0 Object Library activated, along with other basic libraries. I think this must be something different.
I apologize if this is a really simple thing that I am overlooking, but I would appreciate whatever guidance you could give me!
Where do you run the VBA macro?
Dim applOutlook As Outlook.Application
It looks like you didn't initialize the applOutlook object in the code. If you develop an Outlook VBA macro, you can use the Application property:
Set applOutlook = Application
Set ns = applOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
In case if you automate Outlook you need to create a new instance of the Application class. See How to automate Outlook from another program for more information.
I am trying to iterate over someone's outlook appointments with VBA. I believe the following fragment should do what I need, however, the line for each appm in cal.items pops up a little message box that says
Laufzeitfehler '-140492795 (f7a04405)':
Automatisierungsfehler
In english, that would probably be run time error .... automation error.
Why do I get this error?
option explicit
sub abcdef()
dim ol as outlook.application
dim ns as outlook.namespace
dim rcpt as outlook.recipient
dim cal as outlook.folder
dim appm as outlook.appointmentItem
set ol = new outlook.application
set ns = ol.GetNamespace("MAPI")
set rcpt = ns.createRecipient("Deere John")
rcpt.resolve
if not rcpt.resolved then
msgBox("Could not resolve recipient")
return
end if
set cal = ns.getSharedDefaultFolder(rcpt, olFolderCalendar)
if cal is nothing then
msgBox ("No Calender!")
return
end if
for each appm in cal.items
' Error occurs in previous line
next appm
end sub
Found some code here: http://www.slipstick.com/developer/copy-new-appointments-to-another-calendar-using-vba/ which would change how you dim appm... Instead of outlook.appointmentItem it has it simply as appointmentItem. So Dim appm as appoointmentItem
Edit: Their syntax also uses Set newCalFolder = GetFolderPath("display name in folder list\Calendar\Test") to define the cal variable, while you are using getSharedDefaultFolder
Even if you can manually add "Deere John" to your list of calendars, the calendar permission is probably not correct for VBA.
Try this to see if Outlook displays "Cannot display the folder. Microsoft Outlook cannot access the specified folder location."
Sub abcdef_CalDisplay()
Dim ol As Outlook.Application
Dim ns As Outlook.Namespace
Dim rcpt As Outlook.Recipient
Dim cal As Outlook.folder
Dim appm As Outlook.AppointmentItem
Set ol = New Outlook.Application
Set ns = ol.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set rcpt = ns.CreateRecipient("Deere John")
rcpt.Resolve
If Not rcpt.Resolved Then
MsgBox ("Could not resolve recipient")
Return
Else ' <----
Set cal = ns.GetSharedDefaultFolder(rcpt, olFolderCalendar)
cal.Display ' <---
End If
End Sub
How do I automatically send out multiple (currently visible) draft items with VBA?
Please help, thank you.
Edit: It's a tough case, none of the items are in the drafts folder yet. These are generated emails that are on your screen, waiting to be sent.
Edit2: nvm, it's not going to help anyway. My script creates approximately 500 emails, and displaying the first 100 causes out of memory error. I opted to auto send them without displaying (it breaks the layout this way, but it's my only option for now.)
It just so happens that I ran into the same issue before and have code handy. If you're not already in Outlook, you will need to add a reference in the VBA IDE, Tools ---> References... and check the box next to "Microsoft Outlook 14.0 Object Library".
Dim oFolder As Folder
Dim oNS As NameSpace
Dim olMail As MailItem
If (MsgBox("Are you sure you want to send ALL EMAILS IN YOUR DRAFTS FOLDER?", vbYesNo + vbCritical, "WARNING: THIS WILL SEND ALL DRAFTS")) = vbYes Then
Set oNS = Outlook.Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set oFolder = oNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderDrafts)
For i = 1 To oFolder.Items.Count
oFolder.Items(1).Send
Next
End If
Set oNS = Nothing
Here's some code. Replace Your Name in myFolders("Mailbox - Your Name") with your actual name as it appears in the mailbox.
Public Sub EmailOutlookDraftsMessages()
Dim lDraftItem As Long
Dim myOutlook As Outlook.Application
Dim myNameSpace As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim myFolders As Outlook.Folders
Dim myDraftsFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
'Send all items in the "Drafts" folder that have a "To" address filled in.
'Setup Outlook
Set myOutlook = Outlook.Application
Set myNameSpace = myOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set myFolders = myNameSpace.Folders
'Set Draft Folder.
Set myDraftsFolder = myFolders("Mailbox - Your Name").Folders("Drafts")
'Loop through all Draft Items
For lDraftItem = myDraftsFolder.Items.Count To 1 Step -1
'Check for "To" address and only send if "To" is filled in.
If Len(Trim(myDraftsFolder.Items.Item(lDraftItem).To)) > 0 Then
'Send Item
myDraftsFolder.Items.Item(lDraftItem).Send
End If
Next lDraftItem
'Clean-up
Set myDraftsFolder = Nothing
Set myNameSpace = Nothing
Set myOutlook = Nothing
End Sub
Source Code adapted from this Question's answer.
I copied the following code in my oulook VBE, from one of the VBA communities and amended it as per my need.
I can run it using F5 and F8. Now I would like to run this macro whenever I receive an email in folder1.
I tried setting up a rule but I cannot see the macro listed in the 'run a script' selection box.
I have already checked that
macro security setting are correct
macro is in a module not in a class
can you please tell me what is going wrong in the setting.
Public Sub SaveAttachments()
Dim myOlapp As Outlook.Application
Dim myNameSpace As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim myFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim yourFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim myItem As Outlook.MailItem
Dim myAttachment As Outlook.Attachment
Dim I As Long
Set myOlapp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set myNameSpace = myOlapp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set myFolder = myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set yourFolder = myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set myFolder = myFolder.Folders("folder1")
Set yourFolder = yourFolder.Folders("folder2")
For Each myItem In myFolder.Items
If myItem.Attachments.Count <> 0 Then
For Each myAttachment In myItem.Attachments
I = I + 1
myAttachment.SaveAsFile "C:\arthur\test.csv"
Next
End If
myItem.Move yourFolder
Next
End Sub
To be recognized as proper script macro for the Rule Wizard, the macro has to have the expected parameter:
Sub myRuleMacro(item as Outlook.MailItem)

Article about enabling run-a-script rules otherwise disabled due to security reasons
(registry key EnableUnsafeClientMailRules).
I had the same issue today on a similar script after Office was upgraded to Version 1803 (Build 9126.2282). Removing the "Pubic" keyword from the sub did the trick. Not sure why, since has been working the other way for years.
I also had to re-add the reg key that had disappeared - EnableUnsafeClientMailRules.
Outlook wont let me send multiple drafts at the same time. Is there an easy way to send multiple drafts at once in outlook? without having to open each one individually?
From what i've read, seen and tried; this is not possible from within outlook itself, and thus a programming solution would be required, probably some VB script
ok, i found a bit of VB that does it:
`Public Sub SendDrafts()
Dim lDraftItem As Long
Dim myOutlook As Outlook.Application
Dim myNameSpace As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim myFolders As Outlook.Folders
Dim myDraftsFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
'Send all items in the "Drafts" folder that have a "To" address filled
'in.
'Setup Outlook
Set myOutlook = Outlook.Application
Set myNameSpace = myOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set myFolders = myNameSpace.Folders
'Set Draft Folder. This will need modification based on where it's
'being run.
Set myDraftsFolder = myFolders("$MAILBOX").Folders("$DRAFTS")
'Loop through all Draft Items
For lDraftItem = myDraftsFolder.Items.Count To 1 Step -1
'Check for "To" address and only send if "To" is filled in.
If Len(Trim(myDraftsFolder.Items.Item(lDraftItem).To)) > 0 Then
'Send Item
myDraftsFolder.Items.Item(lDraftItem).Send
End If
Next lDraftItem
'Clean-up
Set myDraftsFolder = Nothing
Set myNameSpace = Nothing
Set myOutlook = Nothing
End Sub
just replace $MAILBOX with your mailbox name and $DRAFTS with the name of your drafts folder.
This has been personnaly tested and seems to work fine.
Not very different from author's answer, but still:
Sub SendDrafts()
Dim ns As NameSpace
Dim drafts As MAPIFolder
Dim Item As MailItem
Set ns = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set drafts = ns.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderDrafts) ' 16
For Each Item In drafts.Items
'Item.Send
Next
End Sub
Please be careful as it really sends all emails in your default draft folder. After uncommenting the send line. Dim lines to allow for autocompletion when inside Outlook macro editor.
A useful version, which I just tested in Outlook 2000:
Drag the emails you wish to send to the Outbox. They won't be sent automatically, but using this version of the prior posting sends them:
Sub SendOutbox()
Dim ns As NameSpace
Dim outbox As MAPIFolder
Dim Item As MailItem
Set ns = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set outbox = ns.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderOutbox) ' 16
For Each Item In outbox.Items
Item.Send
Next
End Sub
That way, you can be selective.
Yes, you can write a macro or add-in to do that.
