MsgBox "Cancelled", vbOKOnly + vbInformation, "Outlook"
Exit Sub
End If

Dim Myworkbook As Object
Dim Mysheet As Object
Dim MyRow As Integer
Dim Lines As Variant


MyRow = 2


Set myfolder = Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder
Dim a As String


Set MyExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set Myworkbook = MyExcel.Workbooks.Add


Set Mysheet = Myworkbook.sheets("Sheet1")


On Error Resume Next
Dim x As Variant


With Mysheet
.Range("A1") = "Subject"

End With


For Each Item In myfolder.Items
Set x = Item
With Mysheet
Lines = Split(x.Body, Chr(10))


.Range("A" & MyRow) = x.Subject
.Range("B" & MyRow) = Format(x.ReceivedTime, "DD/MM/YYYY")

maually placing it in G7 and looking at F7, then macro recorder gives me > ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=TRIM(TEXT(MID(RC[-1],FIND("":"",RC[-1])+1,255),""""))"

I didn't take it beyond looking at > MAC Address : 00:00:08:14:00:00 and producing > 00:00:08:14:00:00

For those rows where you don't want the info before the colon, you could try something like this:
Code:
.Range("E" & MyRow) = Mid(Lines(6), InStr(Lines(6), ":")+1)

that was the Code I was looking for Russell.

thanks all for your input.
