Hi,

I have a code in VBA that downloads my Outlook attachments but id like to update if possible.

Here is the current code.

Code:
Public Sub SaveAttachmentsToDiskOperaCorrection(MItem As Outlook.MailItem)
Dim oAttachment As Outlook.Attachment
Dim sSaveFolder As String
sSaveFolder = "C:\Users\tmona623\Desktop\Cash Dec\AutoDownload\Opera Reports\"
For Each oAttachment In MItem.Attachments
oAttachment.SaveAsFile sSaveFolder & Format(Date, "DD-MM-YY") & " " & MItem.SenderEmailAddress & " " & oAttachment.DisplayName
Next
End Sub

I'd like to change the following bit if possible.

Code:
& Format(Date, "DD-MM-YY")
Can this be changed so that it generates the previous day?

Code:
& MItem.SenderEmailAddress
Can this be changed so that it only grabs the first 5 letters of the e-mail address?


Any help is greatly appreciated.

Tom
 

Excel Facts

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
Totally untested....

Code:
For Each oAttachment In MItem.Attachments
oAttachment.SaveAsFile sSaveFolder & Format(Date - 1, "DD-MM-YY") & " " & Left(MItem.SenderEmailAddress, 5) & " " & oAttachment.DisplayName

Hi Thanks for that, it works, is it possible to change the date part to timestamp from when it arrived in Outlook?

You can try but untested...

Code:
For Each oAttachment In MItem.Attachments
oAttachment.SaveAsFile sSaveFolder & Format(MItem.ReceivedTime, "DD-MM-YY") & " " & Left(MItem.SenderEmailAddress, 5) & " " & oAttachment.DisplayName
Next
