Each month, I have 55 reports arrive as email attachments in my inbox, and
each email with attachment comes from a different location (facility). The
attachments have the same name so I open each email, save each attachment
giving it a specific file name which incorporates thelocation name, and then
I follow up with any locations from which I did not receive the report.

I would like to automate this tedious process and am a quick learner. There
are other applications for automation with respect to my job and am
interested in learning more.

Thank you for any help.
Jason
