I'm trying a different approach to something that I was working on the other day. At work, we use Outlook 2010 and receive emails with .XLSX attachments throughout the day. I'm trying to figure out how to use VBA in Outlook to check incoming emails for attachments, then if the attachment count is > 0, test the attachment and if it's a spreadsheet, update tblOutlookLog with the senders address book information. This is only my 2nd or third day experimenting with VBA outside of MS Access and I'm fumbling in the dark trying to figure out syntax. I've posted the code below from Outlook below. I get an error in the olInbox_ItemAdd(ByVal Item As Object) section at the .Subject line stating that it is an "invalid or unqualified reference". I apologize in advance in it's sloppy. Thank you for any assistance or direction.
Option Explicit
Private WithEvents InboxItems As Outlook.Items
Dim olns As NameSpace
Dim olInbox As MAPIFolder
Dim olItem As Object
Dim olAtmt As Attachment
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Const strdbPath = "\\FMI-FS\Users\sharp-c\Desktop\"
Const strdbName = "MSOutlook.accdb"
Const strTableName = "tblOutlookLog"
Private Sub Application_Startup()
Set olns = GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set olInbox = olns.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Items
Set db = OpenDatabase(strdbPath & strdbName)
Set rst = db.OpenRecordset(strTableName, dbOpenDynaset)
End Sub
Private Sub Application_Quit()
On Error Resume Next
rst.Close
db.Close
Set olns = Nothing
End Sub
Private Sub olInbox_ItemAdd(ByVal Item As Object)
Dim olItem As Outlook.MailItem
Dim olAtmt As Outlook.Attachment
Dim strFoldername As String
Dim strFilename As String
Dim i As Integer
i = 0
For Each olItem In olInbox.Items
For Each olAtmt In olItem.Attachments
If olItem.olAtmt.Count > 0 Then
If Right$(olAtmt.FileName, 5) = ".xlsx" Then
strFilename = "\\FMI-FS\Users\sharp-c\Desktop\Test" & olAtmt.FileName
olAtmt.SaveAsFile strFilename
i = i + 1
rst.AddNew
rst!Subject = Left(.Subject, 255)
rst!Sender = .Sender
rst!FromAddress = .SenderEmailAddress
rst!Status = "Inbox"
rst!Logged = .ReceivedTime
rst!AttachmentPath = strFilename
Next
rst.Update
End If
Next olAtmt
Next olItem
Set olAtmt = Nothing
Set olItem = Nothing
End Sub
You need to prefix items with the object:
rst!Subject = Left(olItem.Subject, 255)
And so forth. I think you may have removed With at some stage.
