Hi,

Outlook 2003 SP3, Windows XP Pro SP2.

I've written the VBA code below to remove attachments from the
selected email(s) and insert a list of the filenames removed at
the top of the message using the Redemption SafeMailItem and
SafeInspector objects. However it crashes at the line:

olSInsp.SelText = sText

With the error:

Run-time error '-2147467259 (80004005)':
Unspecified Error

If I then click Help it says 'Automation error (Error 440)'.

The program works fine if I step through it in the VBA debugger,
or if I display a message box before the line, i.e. MsgBox ""

Any ideas where I'm going wrong and how to fix it?

Many thanks.

Option Explicit

For Each olMailItem In ActiveExplorer.Selection

If olMailItem.Class = olMail Then

olSMailItem.Item = olMailItem

If olAttachments.Count 0 Then

sText = Now() & " removed attachments:" &
vbNewLine & " " & vbNewLine

If removeAttachments Then

'Delete each attachment and create the text
string to insert in the message

While olAttachments.Count 0
sText = sText & olAttachments(1).fileName
& vbNewLine
olAttachments(1).Delete
Wend

Else

'Testing only. Don't delete attachments -
just create the text string to insert in the message

For i = 1 To olAttachments.Count
sText = sText & olAttachments(i).fileName
& vbNewLine
Next
End If

olSMailItem.Display

InsertText olSMailItem, sText

olSMailItem.Close olSave
