Print email attachment - vba

I came across this code, which prints email.
I am trying to print attachments.
This as well should be limited to email sent by senttoprint#test.com for example OR if they have specific subject like WEB ORDER #2345.
Sub PrintEmail()
Dim objItem As Object
Dim objMail As Outlook.MailItem
Dim objWordApp As Word.Application
Dim strTempFolder As String
Dim strMailDocument As String
Dim objMailDocument As Word.Document
Dim strPrinter As String
Select Case Application.ActiveWindow.Class
Case olInspector
Set objItem = ActiveInspector.CurrentItem
Case olExplorer
Set objItem = ActiveExplorer.Selection.Item(1)
End Select
If TypeOf objItem Is MailItem Then
Set objMail = objItem
Set objWordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
strTempFolder = CStr(Environ("USERPROFILE")) & "\AppData\Local\Temp"
strMailDocument = strTempFolder & "\" & Format(Now, "yyyymmddssnn") & ".doc"
objMail.SaveAs strMailDocument, olDoc
Set objMailDocument = objWordApp.Documents.Open(strMailDocument)
objWordApp.Visible = True
objMailDocument.Activate
strPrinter = objWordApp.ActivePrinter
'Change to the name of specific printer
objWordApp.ActivePrinter = "Specific Printer"
objWordApp.PrintOut Range:=wdPrintAllDocument, Item:=wdPrintDocumentContent
objWordApp.ActivePrinter = strPrinter
objMailDocument.Close False
objWordApp.Quit
Kill strMailDocument
End If
End Sub

It seems you need to find items from a folder that corresponds to your conditions and should be printed. Use the Find/FindNext or Restrict methods of the Items class. The Restrict method is an alternative to using the Find method or FindNext method to iterate over specific items within a collection. The Find or FindNext methods are faster than filtering if there are a small number of items. The Restrict method is significantly faster if there is a large number of items in the collection, especially if only a few items in a large collection are expected to be found.
But if you need to find items from multiple folders I'd recommend using the AdvancedSearch method instead:
Public m_SearchComplete As Boolean
Private Sub Application_AdvancedSearchComplete(ByVal SearchObject As Search)
If SearchObject.Tag = "MySearch" Then
m_SearchComplete = True
End If
End Sub
Sub TestSearchForMultipleFolders()
Dim Scope As String
Dim Filter As String
Dim MySearch As Outlook.Search
Dim MyTable As Outlook.Table
Dim nextRow As Outlook.Row
m_SearchComplete = False
'Establish scope for multiple folders
Scope = "'" & Application.Session.GetDefaultFolder( _
olFolderInbox).FolderPath _
& "','" & Application.Session.GetDefaultFolder( _
olFolderSentMail).FolderPath & "'"
'Establish filter
If Application.Session.DefaultStore.IsInstantSearchEnabled Then
Filter = Chr(34) & "urn:schemas:httpmail:subject" _
& Chr(34) & " ci_phrasematch 'Office'"
Else
Filter = Chr(34) & "urn:schemas:httpmail:subject" _
& Chr(34) & " like '%Office%'"
End If
Set MySearch = Application.AdvancedSearch( _
Scope, Filter, True, "MySearch")
While m_SearchComplete <> True
DoEvents
Wend
Set MyTable = MySearch.GetTable
Do Until MyTable.EndOfTable
Set nextRow = MyTable.GetNextRow()
Debug.Print nextRow("Subject")
Loop
End Sub

Format a date variable to display time only in Outlook Calendar

I am trying to show the start time and end time.
In the end time, I don't want the date, as I am trying to show availability.
It shows under the print window "25/06/2021 14:45:34 25/06/2021 16:05:00".
I want to remove the middle date. I tried masks, but just erroring.
Also when the dialog box shows, I want to copy the content to clipboard.

First of all, there is no need to iterate over all items in the collection:
For Each oAppt In oFinalItems
Instead, you can apply a filter by using the Restrict or Find/FindNext methods of the Items class as you did that earlier in the code.
To format the dates values you need to use the Format function available in VBA:
strAppt = oAppt.Start & " " & Format(endAppt, "hh:mm:ss")

Search by Email address with urn:schemas

I found this code from Ricardo Diaz. It runs through.
I would like to search for the latest email I received or sent to a specific email address as opposed to search by subject.
I replaced
searchString = "urn:schemas:httpmail:subject like '" & emailSubject & "'"
with
searchString = "urn:schemas:httpmail:to like '" & emailSubject & "'"
The search returns an empty object.
What is the urn:schemas to search for the email address of the sender and receiver in my Outlook Inbox and Sent Items?
This is the code I am trying to run:
In a VBA module:
Public Sub ProcessEmails()
Dim testOutlook As Object
Dim oOutlook As clsOutlook
Dim searchRange As Range
Dim subjectCell As Range
Dim searchFolderName As String
' Start outlook if it isn't opened (credits: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33328314/how-to-open-outlook-with-vba)
On Error Resume Next
Set testOutlook = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
On Error GoTo 0
If testOutlook Is Nothing Then

End If

Set oOutlook = New clsOutlook

' Loop through excel cells with subjects
Set searchRange = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A2:A4")
For Each subjectCell In searchRange
' Only to cells with actual subjects
If subjectCell.Value <> vbNullString Then
Call oOutlook.SearchAndReply(subjectCell.Value, searchFolderName, False)
End If
Next subjectCell
MsgBox "Search and reply completed"
' Clean object
Set testOutlook = Nothing
End Sub
In a class module named clsOutlook:
Option Explicit

Private Sub outlookApp_AdvancedSearchComplete(ByVal SearchObject As Search)
'MsgBox "The AdvancedSearchComplete Event fired."
searchComplete = True
End Sub
Sub SearchAndReply(emailSubject As String, searchFolderName As String, searchSubFolders As Boolean)
' Declare objects variables
Dim customMailItem As Outlook.MailItem
Dim searchString As String
Dim resultItem As Integer
' Variable defined at the class level
Set OutlookApp = New Outlook.Application
' Variable defined at the class level (modified by outlookApp_AdvancedSearchComplete when search is completed)
searchComplete = False
' You can look up on the internet for urn:schemas strings to make custom searches
searchString = "urn:schemas:httpmail:to like '" & emailSubject & "'"
' Perform advanced search
Set outlookSearch = OutlookApp.AdvancedSearch(searchFolderName, searchString, searchSubFolders, "SearchTag")
' Wait until search is complete based on outlookApp_AdvancedSearchComplete event
While searchComplete = False
DoEvents
Wend
' Get the results
Set outlookResults = outlookSearch.Results
If outlookResults.Count = 0 Then Exit Sub
' Sort descending so you get the latest
outlookResults.Sort "[SentOn]", True
' Reply only to the latest one
resultItem = 1
' Some properties you can check from the email item for debugging purposes
On Error Resume Next
Debug.Print outlookResults.Item(resultItem).SentOn, outlookResults.Item(resultItem).ReceivedTime, outlookResults.Item(resultItem).SenderName, outlookResults.Item(resultItem).Subject
On Error GoTo 0
Set customMailItem = outlookResults.Item(resultItem).ReplyAll
' At least one reply setting is required in order to replyall to fire
customMailItem.Body = "Just a reply text " & customMailItem.Body
customMailItem.Display
End Sub
The cells A2:A4 in Sheet1 contain email address such as rainer#gmail.com for instance.
You can get to what appears to be "urn:schemas:httpmail:to" another way.

Restrict Outlook Items to today's date - VBA

I've written some code that scans my default Outlook inbox for emails received today with a specific subject.
I then download the attachment for Outlook items that meet my criteria. I am having trouble designating the Restrict method to pull back items received today.
Here is what I have:
Sub DownloadAttachmentFirstUnreadEmail()
Dim oOlAp As Object, oOlns As Object, oOlInb As Object
Dim oOlItm As Object, oOlAtch As Object
Dim sFilter As String
Dim NewFileName As String
NewFileName = "C:\Temp\" & "CHG_Daily_Extract_" & Format(Date, "MM-DD-YYYY") & ".csv"
'~~> Get Outlook instance
Set oOlAp = GetObject(, "Outlook.application")
Set oOlns = oOlAp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set oOlInb = oOlns.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
'Declare email item restriction
sFilter = "[ReceivedTime] = '" & Format(Date, "DDDDD HH:NN") & "'"
'Catch
If oOlInb.Items.Restrict(sFilter).Count > 0 Then
'~~> Loop thru today's emails
For Each oOlItm In oOlInb.Items.Restrict(sFilter)
'~> Check if the email subject matches
If oOlItm = "ASG CDAS Daily CHG Report" Then
'~~> Download the attachment
For Each oOlAtch In oOlItm.Attachments
oOlAtch.SaveAsFile NewFileName
Exit For
Next
End If
Exit For
Next
'Display if no emails today
Else: MsgBox "No items"
End If
End Sub
When I run the code, I consistently receive my catch message of "No items".
Please let me know if I am using the Restrict method incorrectly. Thank you so much for the help.
How about the following-
Filter = "#SQL=" & "%today(" & Chr(34) & ("urn:schemas:httpmail:datereceived") & _
Chr(34) & ")%
Or with Attachment
Filter = "#SQL=" & "%today(" & Chr(34) & ("urn:schemas:httpmail:datereceived") & _
Chr(34) & ")% AND " & _
Chr(34) & "urn:schemas:httpmail:hasattachment" & _
Chr(34) & "=1"
Example
Option Explicit
Private Sub Examples()
Dim olNs As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim Inbox As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim Items As Outlook.Items
Dim Msg As String
Dim i As Long
Dim Filter As String
Set olNs = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set Inbox = olNs.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Filter = "#SQL=" & "%today(" & Chr(34) & ("urn:schemas:httpmail:datereceived") & _
Chr(34) & ")%"
Set Items = Inbox.Items.Restrict(Filter)
Msg = Items.Count & " Items in " & Inbox.Name
If MsgBox(Msg, vbYesNo) = vbYes Then
For i = Items.Count To 1 Step -1
Debug.Print Items(i) 'Immediate Window

End Sub
Filtering Items Using a Date-time Comparison MSDN
Outlook Date-time Macros
The date macros listed below return filter strings that compare the value of a given date-time property with a specified date in UTC; SchemaName is any valid date-time property referenced by namespace.
Note Outlook date-time macros can be used only in DASL queries.
Macro Syntax Description
today %today(" SchemaName")% Restricts for items with SchemaName
property value equal to today

Download attachments from From UnRead Items and are from specific sender

I want to download all attachments from emails which are both unread and received from the specific sender in MS Outlook.
I found a code, which downloads all attachments from all unread emails.
Downloading Attachments from Unread Emails of MS Outlook and tried to adapt it.
However, filter is not working properly. It shows that there are no such e-mails.
Filter = "[Unread] = True And [SenderEmailAddress] = 'yrybchuk#gmail.com'"
Below is the entire code:
Option Explicit
Public Sub Example()
Dim oOlAp As Object
Dim olNs As Outlook.Namespace
Dim Inbox As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim Items As Outlook.Items
Dim Item As Outlook.MailItem
Dim Atmt As Attachment
Dim Filter As String
Dim FilePath As String
Dim AtmtName As String
Dim i As Long
'// Set Inbox Reference
Set oOlAp = GetObject(, "Outlook.application")
Set olNs = oOlAp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set Inbox = olNs.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
FilePath = "C:\Users\irybchuk\Documents\"
Filter = "[Unread] = True And [SenderEmailAddress] = 'yrybchuk#gmail.com'"
Set Items = Inbox.Items.Restrict(Filter)
'// Loop through backwards
For i = Items.Count To 1 Step -1
Set Item = Items.Item(i)
DoEvents
If Item.Class = olMail Then
Debug.Print Item.Subject ' Immediate Window
For Each Atmt In Item.Attachments
AtmtName = FilePath & Atmt.FileName
Atmt.SaveAsFile AtmtName
Next
End If
Next
Set Inbox = Nothing
Set Items = Nothing
Set Item = Nothing
Set Atmt = Nothing
Set olNs = Nothing
End Sub
I believe that here: How to filter items sendername from Items_ItemAdd Events? could be described possible solution how to change filter line. However, I couldn't do it.
Your filter seems to work for me but here is different one SQL DASL syntax you can use
Filter = "#SQL=" & Chr(34) & "urn:schemas:httpmail:fromname" & _
Chr(34) & " Like '%yrybchuk#gmail.com%' AND " & _
Chr(34) & "urn:schemas:httpmail:read" & _
Chr(34) & "=0"
Or better yet one with the attachment Restricted Filter to improve your loop
Filter = "#SQL=" & Chr(34) & "urn:schemas:httpmail:fromname" & _
Chr(34) & " Like '%yrybchuk#gmail.com%' AND " & _
Chr(34) & "urn:schemas:httpmail:hasattachment" & _
Chr(34) & "=1 AND " & _
Chr(34) & "urn:schemas:httpmail:read" & _
Chr(34) & "=0"
remember to update %yrybchuk#gmail.com%
FYI
If code is being run from Outlook then you don't need
oOlAp = GetObject(, "Outlook.application")

how to apply filter only on outlook messages using vba

The following code which get all uncategorised items from outlook however it returns all the items including appointments and meetings. I need a code which returns only messages which are not categorised.
Sub NullCategoryRestriction()
Dim oFolder As Outlook.Folder
Dim oItems As Outlook.Items
Dim Filter As String
'DASL Filter can test for null property.
'This will return all items that have no category.
Filter = "#SQL=" & Chr(34) & _
"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office#Keywords" & _
Chr(34) & " is null"
Set oFolder = Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder
Set oItems = oFolder.Items.Restrict(Filter)
Debug.Print oItems.Count
End Sub
You need to include the MessageClass property check to the filter as well. The property returns a string representing the message class for the Outlook item.
The following code worked for me.
Filter = "#SQL=" & Chr(34) & _
"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office#Keywords" & _
Chr(34) & " is null"
Set ml = ml.Items.Restrict(Filter)
For i = ml.Count To 1 Step -1
If TypeOf ml(i) Is MailItem Then
End if
Next
There may be no noticeable gain in efficiency but you could apply a second restrict rather than checking each item with If TypeOf ml(i) Is MailItem Then.
Option Explicit
Sub NullCategoryRestriction_MailItems()
Dim oFolder As Folder
Dim oItems As Items
Dim ml As Items
Dim i As Long
Dim oFilter As String
Dim oFilter2 As String
Debug.Print
'DASL Filter can test for null property.
'This will return all items that have no category.
' https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/outlook/How-to/Search-and-Filter/filter-items-that-do-not-have-categories
oFilter = "#SQL=" & Chr(34) & _
"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office#Keywords" & _
Chr(34) & " is null"
Debug.Print " " & oFilter
Set oFolder = ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder
Set oItems = oFolder.Items.Restrict(oFilter)
Debug.Print " oItems.Count: " & oItems.Count
'This will return mailitems
' https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/outlook/concepts/forms/item-types-and-message-classes
oFilter2 = "[MessageClass] = 'IPM.Note'"
Debug.Print " " & oFilter2
Set ml = oItems.Restrict(oFilter2)
Debug.Print " ml.Count: " & ml.Count
For i = ml.Count To 1 Step -1
' If TypeOf ml(i) Is mailItem Then
Debug.Print ml(i).MessageClass & ": " & ml(i).subject
'End If
Next
End Sub
The TypeOf test is no longer necessary.
