Hi Yappy,
Here is a macro that will do it. The only problem with it is if there are
multiple PDF attachments - those will print sporadically unless your default
printer uses a postscript driver. It works consistently for all other types
of attachments. Basically, it saves the attachments to c:\program
files\microsoft office (you can change that path if you would like) and then
prints the saved file to your default printer.
Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" _
Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, _
ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, _
ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long
Sub PrintAttachment()
Dim myItems, myItem, myAttachments, myAttachment As Object
Dim myOrt As String
Dim myOlApp As New Outlook.Application
Dim myOlExp As Outlook.Explorer
Dim myOlSel As Outlook.Selection
Dim strFile As String
'Set destination folder
myOrt = "C:\program files\microsoft office\"
On Error Resume Next
'work on selected items
Set myOlExp = myOlApp.ActiveExplorer
Set myOlSel = myOlExp.Selection
'for all items do...
For Each myItem In myOlSel
'point on attachments
Set myAttachments = myItem.Attachments
If myAttachments.Count > 0 Then
'for all attachments do...
For i = 1 To myAttachments.Count
'save them to destination
myAttachments(i).SaveAsFile myOrt &
myAttachments(i).DisplayName
strFile = myOrt & myAttachments(i).DisplayName
ShellExecute 0&, "print", strFile, 0&, 0&, 0&
NextOne:
Next i
myItem.Save
End If
Next
Set myItems = Nothing
Set myItem = Nothing
Set myAttachments = Nothing
Set myAttachment = Nothing
Set myOlApp = Nothing
Set myOlExp = Nothing
Set myOlSel = Nothing
End Sub
