Hi all,

So please see the VBA code i'm using to save selected messages to a folder of my choice in Outlook. I noticed that whenever i try to save responded mails, it fails to save as an .eml file and just turns into a blank file (attached image). Messages that have been received come save with no challenges though. Please see code below, what am I doing wrong? This is really giving me stress.

Public Sub SaveMessageAsMsg()
'Update by Extendoffice 2018/3/5
Dim xMail As Outlook.MailItem
Dim xObjItem As Object
Dim xPath As String
Dim xDtDate As Date
Dim xName, xFileName As String
On Error Resume Next
Set xShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set xFolder = xShell.BrowseForFolder(0, "Select a folder:", 0, strStartingFolder)
If Not TypeName(xFolder) = "Nothing" Then
Set xFolderItem = xFolder.self
xFileName = xFolderItem.Path & "\"
Else
xFileName = ""
Exit Sub
End If
For Each xObjItem In Outlook.ActiveExplorer.Selection
If xObjItem.Class = olMail Then
Set xMail = xObjItem
xName = xMail.Subject
xDtDate = xMail.ReceivedTime
xName = Format(xDtDate, "yyyymmdd", vbUseSystemDayOfWeek, _
vbUseSystem) & Format(xDtDate, "-hhnnss", _
vbUseSystemDayOfWeek, vbUseSystem) & "-" & xName & ".msg"
xPath = xFileName + xName
xMail.SaveAs xPath, olMSG
End If
Next
End Sub
