Hi guys i have this issue. I'm uploading a .msg file but i can't seem to go through with the DisplayAsIcon option and i also want to put the Date at the end of the file's name,to somehow track the uploaded files and maybe sort them by date. At the time of the upload moment i see the filesname with the date at the end of the name but after i save the file it overwrites the objects icon the i end up with an envelop icon and the uploaded files name. Here's my code:

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
Select Case ActiveCell.Address
    Case "$I$29": Run "Email"

End Select
end sub


Public Sub Email()
    Dim vFile As Variant
    Dim objI As Object
    Dim objJ As Object
    Dim rngI As Range
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
        vFile = Application.GetOpenFilename("E-mail,*.msg,All Files,*.*", 1, "Pick the file", , MultiSelect:=True)
        If IsArray(vFile) Then
        For I = 1 To UBound(vFile)
            lcl_a_fn = Split(vFile(I), "\")
            lcl_vIconLabel = lcl_a_fn(UBound(lcl_a_fn))
            Set objI = ActiveSheet.OLEObjects.Add(Filename:=vFile(I), Link:=False, DisplayAsIcon:=True, IconFileName:="C:\Windows\Installer\{90140000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}\msouc.exe", _
        IconIndex:=0, IconLabel:=lcl_vIconLabel & Space(1) & Date & Space(1), Top:=114, Left:=541)
            objI.Width = 40
            objI.Height = 40
        Next I
Else
            Exit Sub
        End If
End Sub

Excel Facts

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.
Another remark would be that after i save and it totally messes up the uploaded files icon and label's icon, if i right click the uploaded file and go to Packager Shell Object Object and select rename package i have this Rename Package option where i can rewrite the label as i please and after Saving, it actually saves the uploaded file's label name, which i so much want to be able to do that automatically, not by this manner. So please figure out this gibberish problem, thank you!
