Hi,

many years ago a developer working for me, created a VBA module that did the following when saving attachments:

  • recorded the file path you saved it to
  • appended the email to say: "the attachment <filename> was saved to <file path> on <date>"
  • and then removed the attachment from the email.7
I cannot figure out how he did it, or if it is even still possible. I have seen some similar examples but these do things like bulk strip out attachments into a pre-determined folder, or just remove the attachments. None of them do exactly what i need. can anyone help?:mad:
 
i have several code samples here:
 
yeah I have seen these. in fact this is what i referenced in my post. it saves to a specific folder (OLAttachements) - I want one that simply captures the location i CHOOSE to save the file too as a string and append it to the mail..
 
That's not hard to change. get the browse for folder function (link below) - and change this line
strFolderpath = strFolderpath & "OLAttachments"
to this:
strFolderpath = BrowseForFolder("C:\Users\username\documents\")
(or whatever you are using as the base path)

change this line to add the last slash:
strFile = strFolderpath & strFile
like this:
strFile = strFolderpath & "\" & strFile


 
nothing really to code - add the function after the End sub and change two lines.
