Hi folks...

This script does exactly what I want it to do...except...
I'd like it to add the Subject Line from the email as part of the file name.
I saw a possibility somewhere ["newName=itm.subject"] but whatever works is great.
What shall I add and where shall I add it?

Thank you so much.

Bob

DoEvents

NextURL:
Next
End If

Set Reg1 = Nothing

Correction.
Set olMail = Application.ActiveExplorer().Selection(1).itm.Subject
should be
Set olMail = Application.ActiveExplorer().Selection(1).

Set olMail = Application.ActiveExplorer().Selection(1).itm.Subject
should be
Set olMail = Application.ActiveExplorer().Selection(1).
without the last period...

Dang, was posted before I was ready. This macro opens a url, it doesn't save the message.

To add the subject, you would use olmail.subject - but need to run it though an illegal character function to remove characters not supported in file names. There are a couple of different ways of doing it - the sample at the link below uses a function to replace the illegal characts with a character of your choice- in this example, a dash.

sName = oMail.Subject
ReplaceCharsForFileName sName, "-"


Private Sub ReplaceCharsForFileName(sName As String, _
sChr As String _
)
sName = Replace(sName, "'", sChr)
sName = Replace(sName, "*", sChr)
sName = Replace(sName, "/", sChr)
sName = Replace(sName, "\", sChr)
sName = Replace(sName, ":", sChr)
sName = Replace(sName, "?", sChr)
sName = Replace(sName, Chr(34), sChr)
sName = Replace(sName, "<", sChr)
sName = Replace(sName, ">", sChr)
sName = Replace(sName, "|", sChr)
End Sub

Are you saving attachments or files that are downloaded from links in the email? Its more difficult to change the filename when its downloaded. I think you'll need to change it after the file is saved. I'll see if i can find any code.
