I want to make a rule for Outlook to move mail.
I have VBA code that works.
How do I call that code as script.
Part of the code:
Option Explicit
Sub CheckAttachments(olItem As MailItem)
Const strPath As String = "C:\Users\PC2\Documents\Temp_attachs\"
Const strFindText As String = "Completed"
Dim strFilename As String
Dim olAttach As Attachment
Dim xlApp As Object
Dim xlWB As Object
Dim xlSheet As Object
Dim bXStarted As Boolean
Dim bFound As Boolean
Dim myNameSpace As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim myInbox As Outlook.Folder
Dim myDestFolder As Outlook.Folder
Set myNameSpace = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set myInbox = myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set myDestFolder = myInbox.Folders("Subfolder1")
If olItem.Attachments.Count > 0 Then
For Each olAttach In olItem.Attachments
If Right(LCase(olAttach.FileName), 4) = "xlsx" Then
strFilename = strPath & Format(olItem.ReceivedTime, "yyyymmdd-HHMMSS") & _
Chr(32) & olAttach.FileName
olAttach.SaveAsFile strFilename
On Error Resume Next
Set xlApp = GetObject(, "Excel.Application")
If Err <> 0 Then
Application.StatusBar = "Please wait while Excel source is opened ... "
Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
bXStarted = True
End If
On Error GoTo 0
'Open the workbook to read the data
Set xlWB = xlApp.workbooks.Open(strFilename)
Set xlSheet = xlWB.sheets("Sheet1")
If FindValue(strFindText, xlSheet) Then
olItem.Move myDestFolder
'MsgBox "Value found in " & strFilename
bFound = True
End If
xlWB.Close 0
If bXStarted Then xlApp.Quit
If Not bFound Then Kill strFilename
'Exit For
End If
Next olAttach
End If
End Sub
There is a Function also for FindValue.
I tried:
Sub callmacro(Item as Outlook.MailItem)
call ChcekAttachments
End SUB
I get compiler error message:
Argument not optional
Try this. You need to pass argument in Check sub - (olItem As MailItem)
Sub callmacro(Item as Outlook.MailItem)
call CheckAttachments Item
End sub

I want the below code to run when a specific subject appears in an email.
Also to only run if that email has an attachment.
Outlook ignores the attachment part of the rule, and tries to run the code even if the attachment is not there (it seems to only care about the subject).
How do I incorporate a check for attachment in the code?
Public Sub SaveAttachmentsThenOpen(MItem As Outlook.MailItem)
Dim oMail As Variant
Dim oReply As Outlook.MailItem
Dim oItems As Outlook.Items
Dim Msg As Outlook.MailItem
Dim oAttachment As Outlook.Attachment
Dim StrBody As String
Dim oRep As MailItem
Dim sSaveFolder As String
Dim Att As String
Dim Attname As String
Dim sht As Object
Dim Rng As Range
Dim s As String
Dim myAttachments As Outlook.Attachments
Dim XLApp As Object
Dim XlWK As Object
Dim strPaste As Variant
Set oApp = New Outlook.Application
Set oNs = oApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set XLApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
With XLApp
.Visible = True
.ScreenUpdating = True
.Workbooks.Open ("C:\Directory\data.xlsx")
.Workbooks.Open ("C:\Directory\WB.xlsb")
End With
Dim strText As String
strText = ".xls"
sSaveFolder = "C:\Directory\TPS_Reports\"
For Each oAttachment In MItem.Attachments
If InStr(1, oAttachment.FileName, strText) > 0 Then
oAttachment.SaveAsFile sSaveFolder & oAttachment.FileName
Attname = oAttachment.FileName
Att = sSaveFolder & oAttachment.FileName
Exit For
End If
Next oAttachment
Set oAttachment = Nothing
XLApp.Workbooks.Open (Att)
XLApp.Visible = True
XLApp.Run ("WB.XLSB!MacroName")
Set sht = XLApp.Workbooks(Attname).ActiveSheet
Set Rng = sht.UsedRange
s = "<table border=1 bordercolor=black cellspacing=0>"
For rw = Rng.Row To Rng.Rows.Count
s = s & "<tr>"
For col = Rng.Column To Rng.Columns.Count
s = s & "<td>" & sht.Cells(rw, col) & "</td>"
Next
s = s & "</tr>"
Next
s = s & "</table>"
Set oRep = MItem.ReplyAll
With oRep
StrBody = "Hello"
.HTMLBody = s
.Send
End With
With XLApp
.DisplayAlerts = False
End With
XLApp.Workbooks(Attname).Save
XLApp.Quit
With XLApp
.DisplayAlerts = True
End With
End Sub
Try waiting for the mail to be in the inbox before checking for the attachment.
Code for the ThisOutlookSession module
Restart Outlook or run Application_Startup manually.
Private WithEvents myItems As Items
Private Sub Application_Startup()
Dim myInbox As folder
Set myInbox = Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set myItems = myInbox.Items
End Sub
Private Sub myItems_ItemAdd(ByVal Item As Object)
If TypeOf Item Is mailItem Then
If Item.Attachments.Count > 0 Then
SaveAttachmentsThenOpen Item
End If
End If
End Sub
Private Sub test()
myItems_ItemAdd ActiveInspector.currentItem

Im newbiee in VBA, so i need a little help.
My goal is make an Outlook rule, but i have a problem:
I want to save one excel (xlsx) file from my Outlook Inbox to my PC. But only the file which contains (in spreadsheet) a string. But it saves (or not saving anything) the last excel file.. (not checking for MYSTRING)
Using this code:
Option Explicit
Sub CheckAttachments(olItem As MailItem)
Const strPath As String = "C:\Users\PC2\Documents\Temp_attachs\"
Const strFindText As String = "Completed"
Dim strFilename As String
Dim olAttach As Attachment
Dim xlApp As Object
Dim xlWB As Object
Dim xlSheet As Object
Dim bXStarted As Boolean
Dim bFound As Boolean
If olItem.Attachments.Count > 0 Then
For Each olAttach In olItem.Attachments
If Right(LCase(olAttach.FileName), 4) = "xlsx" Then
strFilename = strPath & Format(olItem.ReceivedTime, "yyyymmdd-HHMMSS") & _
Chr(32) & olAttach.FileName
olAttach.SaveAsFile strFilename
On Error Resume Next
Set xlApp = GetObject(, "Excel.Application")
If Err <> 0 Then
Application.StatusBar = "Please wait while Excel source is opened ... "
Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
bXStarted = True
End If
On Error GoTo 0
'Open the workbook to read the data
Set xlWB = xlApp.Workbooks.Open(strFilename)
Set xlSheet = xlWB.Sheets("Sheet1")
If FindValue(strFindText, xlSheet) Then
MsgBox "Value found in " & strFilename
bFound = True
End If
xlWB.Close 0
If bXStarted Then xlApp.Quit
If Not bFound Then Kill strFilename
Exit For
End If
Next olAttach
End If
End Sub
Function FindValue(FindString As String, iSheet As Object) As Boolean
Dim Rng As Object
If Trim(FindString) <> "" Then
With iSheet.Range("A:J")
Set Rng = .Find(What:=FindString, _
After:=.Cells(.Cells.Count), _
LookIn:=-4163, _
LookAt:=1, _
SearchOrder:=1, _
SearchDirection:=1, _
MatchCase:=False)
If Not Rng Is Nothing Then
FindValue = True
Else
FindValue = False
End If
End With
End If
End Function

Dim olMsg As MailItem
On Error Resume Next
Set olMsg = ActiveExplorer.Selection.Item(1)
CheckAttachments olMsg
End Sub
I think I found your Problem:
You have used Exit For in your For Loop only. So only after scanning 1st file, loop is exited.
You need to remove the Exit For and then your code will work smoothly.

Const strPath As String = "C:\Users\PC2\Documents\Temp_attachs\"

I am new to VBA and am trying to insert a class module to save an email that arrives to a sub-folder in the inbox called "My Folder" to a location on a sharedrive. I have the below code and have tried sending emails to test but it is not working and cannot figure out why. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Private WithEvents InboxItems As Outlook.Items
Sub Application_Startup()
Dim xNameSpace As Outlook.NameSpace
Set xNameSpace = Outlook.Application.Session
Set InboxItems = xNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set InboxItems = olFolder.Folders("My Folder")
End Sub
Private Sub InboxItems_ItemAdd(ByVal objItem As Object)
Dim FSO
Dim xMailItem As Outlook.MailItem
Dim xFilePath As String
Dim xRegEx
Dim xFileName As String
On Error Resume Next
xFilePath = CreateObject("WScript.Shell").SpecialFolders(16)
xFilePath = xFilePath & "File Path on Share Drive will be entered here"
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If FSO.FolderExists(xFilePath) = False Then
FSO.CreateFolder (xFilePath)
End If
Set xRegEx = CreateObject("vbscript.regexp")
xRegEx.Global = True
xRegEx.IgnoreCase = False
xRegEx.Pattern = "\||\/|\<|\>|""|:|\*|\\|\?"
If objItem.Class = olMail Then
Set xMailItem = objItem
xFileName = xRegEx.Replace(xMailItem.Subject, "")
xMailItem.SaveAs xFilePath & "\" & xFileName & ".msg", olMSG
End If
Exit Sub
End Sub
There were a few issues with the code that I saw. I have this working, make sure you add this to the ThisOutlookSession object in the VBA IDE.

This code is from online where I tried making it work for myself...
I need to extract Specific Data from emails (over 5000) and produce them on an Excel document. I've never touched VBA before only C#, Javascript & C++.
The code runs, the excel sheet updates to the current Date/time but nothing is produced?
Any help please?
I also get an error "Subscript out of range" for this line:
xlSheet.Range("A" & rCount) = Trim(vItem(1))
I think you need to change the second split delimiter to match the first one. This will take care of the Subscript error
Use this:
vItem = Split(vText(i), "Destination -")
Note: I wrote the following code in Outlook VBA. Basically the code is in ThisOutlookSession and I scan emails that start with "new", save the attachment in Desktop and debug.print the value in Cells(1,1). However, Outlook crashed and said "Object doesn't support this property or method" on the " Debug.Print sourceSH.Cells(1,1)" line. What is wrong?

The Print method output the message to the immediate window. You need to pass a string, not the Range object. Try to pass the Text property values to the Print method.
Debug.Print sourceSH.Cells(1,1).Text
