Probably in way over my head, but I use Outlook and I receive various emails
from a court website that contain a link that, when clicked, opens a pdf
document in Adobe. Each email also contains the case number assigned by the
Court. We try to be as paperless as we can be so we also have folders on the
server for each client. The name of the folders are the case numbers
assigned by the Court.

Instead of manuallly clicking on each email - literally could be a few
hundred a day - opening up the document and saving to the appropriate folder,
is there any coding/program that can be used to automatically click the link
and save in the appropriate file? I assume I won't be able to write it
myself, but I wanted to determine whether it was possible before trying to
find someone to do it. Also, where would I go about finding someone to write
such a code/program? Thanks.

Can you provide an example of the link?

If it's directly to the file, and doesn't require authentication, you
might be able to download it directly using the URLDownloadToFile API.

See http://www.vb-helper.com/howto_downl...l_to_file.html for code
sample.

ps- if simple enough, you might want to ask here, but if you want to
pay, try guru.com or even a site like http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/outlook-dev/.

Here is a sample of the emails that I receive. Right below the point where
it gives the docket number, there is an active link. It does not require a
cut and paste into IE. The link is direct to the document. I would like it
to automatically download it into a folder, the name of which would be the
case number relflected in the body of the email. Thanks for your help.
