Outlook save attachments problem
Hi All,
I have an issue with one of my users in relation to some code that gets run in outlook. Basically the code reads the subject line and then saves the attachment to the "c:\temp\" directory on the users machine. The problem is that the code will work flawlessly on any other machine - ie it will save an attachment to "C:\temp\ddmmyyhhmm.rtf". For some reason it says it has saved the file, but when you check it is not there. I could run the code 100 times a day and it will work 92 times without an issue and the file is saved in the temp directory, the other 8 times it will not be there. I can trap the error without an issue but i don't see why it won't see the drive. Any thoughts - or is this one of those quirky things that just happens. TIA Justin

Outlook save attachments problem
Are you sure the file name does not contain any invalid (":", etc)
characters? Dmitry Streblechenko (MVP) http://www.dimastr.com/ OutlookSpy - Outlook, CDO and MAPI Developer Tool "Justin" wrote in message ...

Outlook save attachments problem
Yes,
strFilename = "c\temp\ddmmyy.rtf" Failing that is there another way save documents to a particular location that won't error out ?

Outlook save attachments problem
Do check the attachment type to make suree you are only working with the
regular by-valuee attachments Is it possible that some other app already has that file open?

Outlook save attachments problem
At this stage in the code, only outlook is running. It is after this point
that i call word to open the file from the nominated directory. It doesn't matter where i nominate the save location the problem seems to be the same ie it goes through the motion of saving - but it doesn't. The fact this worked perfectly for the past 12 months before and was still working up until the other morning, makes me wonder if it is failing due to an update from microsoft(i can't see how). But this doesn't seem right either as the code works perfectly on an identical machine not more than 6 feet away from it.

Outlook save attachments problem
Hmmm... Other than space aliens trying to play their games....
You do have the error handling on (i.e. no "on error resume next"), right?
