Hi all,
The long code posted below is working for me but I need to tweak it so that instead of looking at a folder beneath my Inbox in Outlook, I want it to look at a folder in a shared inbox.
I have found similar to what I want to do on Mr Excel but I cannot get it to work for me - the small snippet of code is what I am trying to get to work:
VBA Code:
Set objowner = OutlookNamespace.CreateRecipient("SharedoutlookMailbox@ABC.com")      'the name of the shared mailbox in Outlook
    objowner.Resolve       'objowner doesn't capitalise to objOwner so errors as no variable set

    If objowner.Resolved Then
        Set Folder = OutlookNamespace.GetSharedDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Folders("TV Vendor Alerts")       'folder beneath the shared mailbox Inbox
    End If



There is a bunch of other stuff in this code to check for unread emails, open the zipped attachment and run (call) a few other Subs which make the sheet look pretty etc. But the big ask now is to get it to do all this from a shared mailbox.
Whilst you clever folk are here - I would really like to be able to delete the email from the shared mailbox folder after the csv attachment has been loaded into the spreadsheet.

Many thanks in advance !

    Set DestinationFolder = shell.Namespace(AttachmentDestinationFolder)
    
    If Dir(AttachmentDestinationFolder, vbDirectory) = "" Then
        MsgBox "Destination folder not found, please create: " & AttachmentDestinationFolder, vbExclamation, "Exit"
        Exit Sub
    End If

    If Folder.UnReadItemCount = 0 Then
        MsgBox ("There are no Unread Emails from vendor- The script will now end"), vbExclamation
    End

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
Definitely having a senior moment !!

I have now added
VBA Code:
Dim objOwner as Outlook.Recipient

but getting an error at this line now:
Type MisMatch (with olFolderInbox in the code below highlighted)

VBA Code:
    If objOwner.Resolved Then
        Set Folder = OutlookNamespace.GetSharedDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Folders("TVO Vendor Alerts") 
    End If
