Let me start by saying that i am a VBA rookie and am trying to learn. I need to be able to download all attachments and embedded images from multiple emails in outlook and save them to a specified folder with a naming convention of Attachmentname_SubjectLine_Email Address_Date of Email. I was able to come across a code that solved 99% of the problem. The VBA script saves all attachments/embedded images and lets me select the destination to save. The only "issue" is that it saves the filename as the attachment name and for compliance reasons, I need it to reference the email, subject line and date of email. I would greatly appreciate any assistance that can be offered.
For additional information, I found the code here: https://gallery.technet.microsoft.co.../Discussions/4
I attempted to embed the code, but I hit a character count limit. I am going to attach the full code to the post in a PDFdocument and include a snippet here:
Once again, this is not the full code and just a portion due to the character limit. Please see the attachment for the full code.
Thanks so much for any assistance you can offer!
