Hi everyone,

I am using Outlook 2010 version.

When I add the VBA code below to the incoming email rule, I get a warning that this rule shall be a client-only rule and importantly the script does not work. It was tested by another user on his Outlook 2010: he does not get this message and the script works for him just the way it should.

What could be the reason? Any security settings in Outlook or Windows? I seems to have checked everything...

VBA Code:
Public Sub SaveAutoAttach(item As Outlook.MailItem)
Dim object_attachment As Outlook.Attachment
Dim saveFolder As String
'Folder location
saveFolder = "\\path to folder\FileSaveFolder\"
For Each object_attachment In item.Attachments
object_attachment.SaveAsFile saveFolder
Next
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as currency
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+4 to format cells as currency. (Shift 4 is the $ sign).
The sub was included in This Outlook Session, yet it does not appear in the list of Macros.

I set security setting to run all macros.
