Hi,

found very helpful code to print multiples attachments in outlook, just wonder if can prompt to when open file to fix like columns showing ##### because is narrow after modifying saving it.

here is the code ( and after will put a sample that you can see that date cannot see it because columns no wide enough is excel file converted to pdf)


VBA Code:
Sub BatchPrintAllAttachmentsinMultipleEmails()
    Dim objFileSystem As Object
    Dim strTempFolder As String
    Dim objSelection As Outlook.Selection
    Dim objItem As Object
    Dim objMail As Outlook.MailItem
    Dim objAttachments As Outlook.Attachments
    Dim objAttachment As Outlook.Attachment
    Dim objShell As Object
    Dim objTempFolder As Object
    Dim objTempFolderItem As Object
    Dim strFilePath As String
 
    Set objFileSystem = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    strTempFolder = objFileSystem.GetSpecialFolder(2).Path & "\Temp for Attachments " & Format(Now, "YYYY-MM-DD_hh-mm-ss")
    'Create a new temp folder
    MkDir (strTempFolder)
 
    Set objSelection = Outlook.Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection
 
    For Each objItem In objSelection
        If TypeOf objItem Is MailItem Then
           Set objMail = objItem
           Set objAttachments = objMail.Attachments
 
           'Save all the attachments in the temp folder
           For Each objAttachment In objAttachments
               strFilePath = strTempFolder & "\" & objAttachment.FileName
               objAttachment.SaveAsFile (strFilePath)
 
               'Print all the files in the temp folder
               Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
               Set objTempFolder = objShell.NameSpace(0)
               Set objTempFolderItem = objTempFolder.ParseName(strFilePath)
               objTempFolderItem.InvokeVerbEx ("print")
           Next objAttachment
        End If
    Next
End Sub
