So you might try the Danish word instead. It's possible, since Outlook 2007 does allow you to restrict the items collection by attachment. So you might try the Danish word instead.

Read an email from a specified folder (for example: Inbox). 2. If the email has an attachment that I'm seeking (an Excel file for example), I'd like to place the attachment into a folder on the hard drive. 3. Then I'd like to modify the body of the text to indicate where the attachment resides. 4. Remove the attachment from the email. 5. Move the email (without the attachment) into an Outlook public folder. I don't know how to do step 5. The rest of the steps I have successfully implemented in my macro. Thanks for helping me. That was very kind of you to reply to my question. Vinita Here's that I'd like to do with the Outlook macro:

1. Read an email from a specified folder (for example: Inbox).

2. If the email has an attachment that I'm seeking (an Excel file for example), I'd like to place the attachment into a folder on the hard drive.

3. Then I'd like to modify the body of the text to indicate where the attachment resides.

4. Remove the attachment from the email.

5. Move the email (without the attachment) into an Outlook public folder.

In these code samples, the attachment is being saved to a <strong>hard drive folder</strong>, not an <em>Outlook</em> folder, and (optionally) their relationship is being severed when the attachment is removed from the message. Do you want to move <strong>both</strong> the email and the attachments to another Outlook folder? If so, do you want the attachments to remain with the email? What criteria do you use to determine where the email goes? Details please. I'm not clear on what you need.

Or rethink your process: Are the JPEG images the only thing preventing the code from completing successfully? If so, do you really need to preserve them? With a filename like that, it sounds like a signature file image or hidden Outlook image (i.e. useless) anyway.

I have a counter that is going through each email and I am using that counter as part of the save filename. Same thing for the attachments. So I don't think it's a dup issue. I use the pickfolder to allow the user to select which folder to process. Some folders it runs with no problems at all and all emails and attachments are saved accurately, but those emails with that problem attachment then it halts the code. I thought if I could at least trap the error, write the email name / attachment names to a table, then I could still have the code continue to do all the other emails/attachments in the folder while still capturing the problem child so it can be done manually at the least. Is that even feasible? Thank you for the quick response. I have a counter that is going through each email and I am using that counter as part of the save filename. Same thing for the attachments.

If the latter, the file might be a duplicate. Try stepping through the code and when it errors, check the value of each variable. And of course I would check to make sure the folder is writable.

What happens is it goes through the iteration of attachemnts and then gives the following message: "-2116009979 Cannot save the attachment. Can't create file: image001.jpg. Right-click the folder you want to create the file in, and then click the Properties on the shortcut menu to check your permissions for the folder" I have found this error message to occur with different error numbers so I don't know how to trap it with error handling. So i could at least get the name of the email and the attachment to write to a table so it can be done manually while the code can still save all the rest and still run through the folder to completion.
