I've spent awhile looking for a way to find an email on the web and

google groups. I'm not having very much luck, probably am not entering

the correct keywords.

I know the following values:

From 'joeblow

Subject 'test message

MessageSize '6058

ReceivedTime '1/11/2009 10:00:10 AM

LastModificationTime '1/25/2010 2:53:17 PM

CreationTime '11/11/2009 10:59:04 AM

My goal is to find the email, see if it has any attachments, and if so,

be able to save them. I think I could do that if I could find the

message...but I'm lost. Could you look at the following code and tell

me if I need to set another object or if I'm using the Find method

incorrectly? What properties are best to search on?

Public Sub FindMailItems()

Dim objApp As Object

Dim objSession As Object

Dim objFolder As Object

Dim objFolderColl As Object

Dim objItemCollection As Object

Const FOLDER_INBOX = 6

Set objApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

Set objSession = objApp.GetNamespace("Mapi")

Set objFolder = objSession.GetDefaultFolder(FOLDER_INBOX)

Set objItemCollection = objFolder.Items

'this is where I'm going wrong

Set objMessage = objFolder.Items.Find("[Subject] = ""This is the

subject line""")

Set objItemCollection = Nothing

Set objFolder = Nothing

Set objSession = Nothing

Set objApp = Nothing

MsgBox "Done"

End Sub
 
change :




SFILTER = "[Subject] = " & Chr(34) & Trim(ZfindZ) & Chr(34)


Set objMessage = objFolder.Items.Find(SFILTER)

Changing " to Chr(34) doesn't make any difference. However, it probably *is*

easier to code and read then the """ bit.
