Saving embedded graphics

[Guest]

How do I save embedded animated graphics in Outlook 2003 emails in a format
other than .bmp? When I right click on the graphic and choose "save picture
as," .bmp is the only option. The graphic is an animated .gif and is NOT an
attachment.

Thanks.

Thank you for the link. I followed all the instructions and got the macro
set up and enabled, got it on my toolbar, but when I click on it, absolutely
nothing happens. I have been over and over the tutorial. I cut and pasted
into VB as instructed and changed macro settings to medium. I clicked Yes to
save the macro, and I clicked Enable Macros to enable macros in the session.
Nothing appears on my desktop and I don't get any pause as though something
is going on at all. What might I be doing wrong? I'm using Windows XP Home
with Outlook 2003.

Thanks.

You must restart Outlook after you change macro security settings. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/vbabasics.htm

I did that. More than once. And I selected the option to enable macros each
time. I also deleted the Save Attachments button from the toolbar and set it
up again. The Save Attachments macro is in the Commands window under the
Macros category.

Thanks.

But did Outlook shut down completely before you restarted? Check in Task Manager (ctrl+alt+del).

Also, you can see if *any* VBA code runs at all, like maybe this one:

Sub Hello()
MsgBox "Hello World!"
End Sub

Can I change the code so that it will save it to My Documents>My Pictures
instead of the desktop?
