[jordanburch]

Hello all,

I just got a new computer and this code does nothing inside outlook. I enabled all macros inside outlook. this code worked fine yesterday on my old computer. I remember there is another step to get macros to work inside outlook 2007. can anyone help me rememeber what that is to run the code below?

Public Sub SaveattachementstoSharedinvoicesfolder()
Dim objOL As Outlook.Application
Dim objMsg As Outlook.MailItem 'Object
Dim objAttachments As Outlook.Attachments
Dim objSelection As Outlook.Selection
Dim i As Long
Dim lngCount As Long
Dim strFile As String
Dim strFolderpath As String
Dim strDeletedFiles As String
 
    ' Get the path to your My Documents folder
    strFolderpath = "A:\Invoices"
    On Error Resume Next
 
    ' Instantiate an Outlook Application object.
    Set objOL = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
 
    ' Get the collection of selected objects.
    Set objSelection = objOL.ActiveExplorer.Selection
 
' The attachment folder needs to exist
' You can change this to another folder name of your choice
 
    ' Set the Attachment folder.
    strFolderpath = strFolderpath
 
    ' Check each selected item for attachments.
    For Each objMsg In objSelection
 
    Set objAttachments = objMsg.Attachments
    lngCount = objAttachments.Count
       
    If lngCount > 0 Then
   
    ' Use a count down loop for removing items
    ' from a collection. Otherwise, the loop counter gets
    ' confused and only every other item is removed.
   
      For i = lngCount To 1 Step -1
       If objAttachments.Item(i).Size > 5200 Then
 
    ' Get the file name.
    strFile = objAttachments.Item(i).FileName
    
    ' Combine with the path to the Temp folder.
    strFile = strFolderpath & strFile
    
    ' Save the attachment as a file.
    objAttachments.Item(i).SaveAsFile strFile
     End If
    
    
    Next i
    End If
    Next
   
ExitSub:
 
Set objAttachments = Nothing
Set objMsg = Nothing
Set objSelection = Nothing
Set objOL = Nothing

Hey guys the issue was that i was grabbing the link of the drive inside windows, which is different than the macros needs to read.

windows shows

"A:\Invoices"

macro needs

"A:\Invoices"

that extra \

made all the difference!
