Hi,
i want to create a script that does the following;
i receive an email daily with an attachment.
i want to save this attachment as a specific filename in a specific location
automatically.
anyone know how to do this?
please advise

You can do this with tweaking the code posted at;
http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/s...edpictures.htm

Changing the following line;
Sub SaveAttachment (Item As Outlook.MailItem)

And replace the selection check with;
Set MySelectedItem = Item

You can specify a folder path in the variable FolderPath

You can then create a rule and choose to run a script. In the popup you
would be able to select the macro.

Create a rule and and then set the action to run a script. With the code
modifications you can now select this script so it can run fully automated
based on the conditions you set in the rule.

That's what you wanted to achieve, right?
