Notify on attachment content
I receive email with a word attachment every day. I am only interested when
the document contains certain words. Is there a way via VBA to automatically open the doc, scan for the word and notify if present. Thanks,

You would need to save the attachment to the file system as a document file
and then open it and parse it using the Word object model. When you manually open an attachment from Outlook that's exactly what Outlook does. It saves the attachment in a temp folder and opens it based on what program is registered in Windows to handle that file extension. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Professional Programming Outlook 2007.

OK, Got it to work.
Rule moves msg to folder and start macro. Macro saves attachment to folder, opens doc, scans for text if finds text then it sends me another email Thanks, "Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]" wrote: You would need to save the attachment to the file system as a document file and then open it and parse it using the Word object model.
