VBA Outlook file attachment save to hard drive and use subject line to create subfolder

[Carguy37122]

Happy Holiday Everyone!

I need a little help. I've been playing with this vba code for outlook and it is amazing!

Hoping to add a little more code to fix my needs completely.

Would like to be able to save the file attachments to a subfolder that is created from the "subject line" of the email.

For example: I receive an email with an attachment where the subject line states "12.01.2014 sales report". The attachments should be saved to C:\Downloads\test\12.01.2014

The code below would save the attachments to C:\Downloads\test

At this point, I would have to manually create each subfolder.

Really hope someone can help with this code. I'm sure this would benefit a lot of other people too.

Thanks again for all your help!


Sub Test()
'Arg 1 = Folder name of folder inside your Inbox
'Arg 2 = File extension, "" is every file
'Arg 3 = Save folder, "C:\Users\Ron\test" or ""
' If you use "" it will create a date/time stamped folder for you in your "Documents" folder
' Note: If you use this "C:\Users\Ron\test" the folder must exist.
arg1 = MyFolder
arg2 = ""
arg3 = "C:\Downloads\test"
