Following up on the popular and the, and the I have been asked the following: “Great response and very helpful. I have one similar problem I just can’t find a resolution to. In one of my outlook folders I have many hundreds of emails many have attachments – I want to extract all the attachments into a folder (not an outlook folder). I can do this but only one at a time. Is there any way of selecting a bunch of emails and extracting all the attachments at once?“ So I had a look at outlook and sure enough there is no simple way to extract all the attachments of every email in a folder without going through each mail one by one. There has to be a better way!
So I wrote a little Macro that will do this for you in one simple click UPDATE: 2 Dec 2015 – This post has been running for over 5 years and still going strong! Andrew Davis has submitted additional code that allows for the same filename to be saved. As per usual: when it comes to these things, I have to add my “I take no responsibility whatsoever if this Macro doesn’t work of messes up your Outlook” I suggest backing it up before you continue further (gotta say this for legal reasons) Now that you have backed up your work, please continue: 1. Open Outlook 2. And save it to your computer where you can find it again.
Once it is downloaded, extract the one file in there and place it in the MY DOCUMENTS folder. In the ZIP file you have just downloaded is the Macro file. So now we need to Import it into Outlook. Outlook 2010: You need to enable the DEVELOPER ribbon (if you haven’t already done so). It looks like this: If you dont have it enabled, then just do the following: Click on File, Options, Customize Ribbon and then put a Tick on the Developer on the right-hand side. Click OK and it will appear. Click on Developer and then click on Visual Basic 6.
Click on File, Import File 7. Select the extracted file: GetEmailAttachments.bas and click on Open 8. Click on File, Close and Return to Outlook You are now ready to use this! Simple click on Developer tab, click on Macros and then Macros again, select the GetEmailAttachments and click on Run! You will now find under your My Documents folder a new Folder called Email Attachments where all your attachments will be saved. Hope this helps! I have tried the code several times and it worked great.
However Now I am faced with a problem using it. I have received several outlook item in one mail and in each outlook item is an attachment and within the attchment is the excel file. I want the code to pen each item and then each attachmentand save the excel file to my folder in my documents.
Right now when I used the current code it does save the item to my folder in my document and I need to open each and very folder to save the excel file which is tedious. Please any help will be much appreciated. Not too familiar with how VBA macros work, but I was able to adapt this for Outlook 2007. Thanks so much for your help:)!
Tools-Macro-Macros (or Alt+F8) Name the macro “GetAttachments”-Create Import the.bas file from the download. Close VBA Return to Outlook. Tools-Macro-Macros-GetAttachments (Running from the VBA environment will get the correct count, but will not actually save the files to My Documents, it appears it will only actually save to My Documents if run from the menu in Outlook) I have an Outlook folder where I receive PDF attachments from a common scanner at work, I was trying to extract 91 files and it took a minute or two to complete the macro, where Outlook will appear unresponsive, but just be patient, especially those that appear to be trying to do more in a shot. Anyway I found this tool helpful and I thought I’d contribute notes for those that are trying to adapt this for outlook 2007. I have a question, can you add to the VB Macro script the ability to tell the difference between read and unread emails and only extract the attachments from unread messages to the Specified output folder?
I have users that have hundreds of faxes that are attached to emails come in daily and it takes more time to have to re-download every attachment when they run your script rather than just the ones that are attached to emails that haven’t been read yet. Other than that the script works great for what is was originally designed to do and makes it easy to implement for any beginner or novice user!! Already more than enough big-ups for this, but still felt the need to add my own. This is genius! Thanks for your efforts. I did a little amendment to handle the possibility of having more than 1 attachment with the same name (doubtless not the greatest piece of VB coding but it seems to work for me): FileName = WheretosaveFolder & “ ” & Atmt.FileName Dim MyFile As String Dim fileExt As Integer Dim newFileName As String Dim availableName As String availableName = “N” fileExt = 0 newFileName = FileName Do While availableName = “N” MyFile = Dir(newFileName) If MyFile “” Then fileExt = fileExt + 1 newFileName = FileName & “.” & fileExt Else availableName = “Y” End If Loop Atmt.SaveAsFile newFileName. Great tool, but I wonder if there is a simple way to add another level of functionality.
I work on a Service Desk, and have users that are sent emails that have Outlook items attached to them, and within each Outlook item, there is a Word document attached, of which they need to open and print. To avoid a lengthy process and save masses of time, we were investigating using this tool to export the attachments to a folder, but it only exports the Outlook items. I was wondering if it could be tweaked in any way, to extract attachments at any level, and then export all attachments into the same folder? This works like a gem. You are a wizard.
We owe you all the beer you can handle! Two questions BTW Would this extract and save something on the body in the email? E.g.:- A pic file. Like a screen shot pasted directly, not attached?
What if two or three mails have different attachments but with the same file name? What happens to the similar names ones? Do all get saved to the Folder? This was one of those very few occassions when I found answered, exactly what I Googled for. Your site is awesome. “I’ll Be Back” Niceguy Nomore.
Andrew, I appreciate the quick response. Something isn’t working for me though. I added “Set fso = Nothing” after the End If in the “Show summary Message” block and replaced the line mentioned to: FileName = WheretosaveFolder & “ ” & fso.GetBaseName(Atmt.FileName) & i & “.” & fso.GetExtensionName(Atmt.FileName) After I execute it and select the email folder that contains the attachments, I get the error: An unexpected error has occurred. Macro Name: GetAttachments Error Number: 91 Error Description: Object variable or With block variable not set I’m not familiar with VB code so it probably is something silly but I can’t see it. Thank you in advance Shelli. Shelli make sure you moved the “Set fso = Nothing” from the top of the code.
There is one at the top and i believe that is what is causing this issue. If you just added this line than the code at the top of the file is still there. Sub GetAttachments On Error Resume Next ‘create the folder if it doesnt exists: Dim fso, ttxtfile, txtfile, WheretosaveFolder Dim objFolders As Object Set objFolders = CreateObject(“WScript.Shell”).SpecialFolders ‘MsgBox objFolders(“mydocuments”) ttxtfile = objFolders(“mydocuments”) Set fso = CreateObject(“Scripting.FileSystemObject”) Set txtfile = fso.CreateFolder(ttxtfile & “ Email Attachments”) ————– Set fso = Nothing.
