Extracting Attached files from Email

I desperately need help in extracting attachments from
MS Outlook emails via VB 6, any help would be surely appreciated.

One place to find outlook programming help is www.slipstick.com

Thanks for the reply bro'.

I hope you find your answer, I haven't coded Outlook from VB myself.

found some... now for the tricky part, actually understanding the damn thing, hehehe... thnx again bro'.

And now...... With carefull examination and 5 cups of realy strong coffee later here it is.
(Didnt actually author the code but it was a hell of time finding it, So I'm posting it here
in case I lose it again.)



Public Sub StripAttachments()
Dim objOL As Outlook.Application
Dim objMsg As Object
Dim objAttachments As Outlook.Attachments
Dim objSelection As Outlook.Selection
Dim objItem As Outlook.MailItem

Dim myNamespace As Outlook.NameSpace

Dim i As Long
Dim lngCount As Long
Dim strFile As String
Dim strFolder As String

On Error Resume Next

' Instantiate an Outlook Application object.
Set objOL = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
' Get the collection of selected objects.
'Set objSelection = objOL.ActiveExplorer.Activate

Set myNamespace = objOL.GetNamespace("MAPI")

Set objOL.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder = _
myNamespace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).items( "Sending Mail from VB")

'myNamespace.GetDefaultFolder (olFolderInbox) '.Name = ""

Set objSelection = objOL.ActiveExplorer.Selection

' Get the Temp folder.
strFolder = GetTempDir()
If strFolder = "" Then
MsgBox "Could not get Temp folder", vbOKOnly
GoTo ExitSub
End If

' dont include this
'==========================
' objSelection.Class = olMail
' Set objAttachments = objMsg.Attachments
' lngCount = objAttachments.count
'
' If lngCount < 1 Then
'
'
'
' End If

'==========================



' Check each selected item for attachments.
' If attachments exist, save them to the Temp
' folder and strip them from the item.



For Each objMsg In objSelection
' This code only strips attachments from mail items.
If objMsg.Class = olMail Then
' Get the Attachments collection of the item.
Set objAttachments = objMsg.Attachments

lngCount = objAttachments.count

If lngCount > 0 Then
' We need to use a count down loop for
' removing items from a collection. Otherwise,
' the loop counter gets confused and only every
' other item is removed.

For i = lngCount To 1 Step -1

' Save attachment before deleting from item.
' Get the file name.
strFile = objAttachments.Item(i).FileName
' Combine with the path to the Temp folder.
strFile = strFolder & strFile
' Save the attachment as a file.
objAttachments.Item(i).SaveAsFile strFile
' Delete the attachment.
objAttachments.Item(i).Delete
Next i
End If
objMsg.Save
End If
Next

ExitSub:
Set objAttachments = Nothing
Set objMsg = Nothing
Set objSelection = Nothing
Set objOL = Nothing
End Sub

I'm happy you solved it!
