Re: Saving attachments automatically

Is you script delteing the attachments corectly?

I'm just wondering if using "myAttachments.Count" like myItem.Attachments(myAttachments.Count).SaveAsFile
is working. may be rthe scipt runs before the value is undated.

maybe use somthing like
for i = 1 to myAttachments.Count
instead of
While myAttachments.Count > 0

Hi all,

I've written an outlook script to save all attachments automatically
to some folder. Unfortunately this script is not working correctly. If
I select a lot of mails with attachments, it saves only the
attachments of the first mail.

I've tried to debug the script: the script runs through all selected
mails and there attachments correctly, but they are not saved. Does
anyone see my error? This would be great.

Thanks in advance, Stephan
