Hello - I am creating a macro to export an HTML table embedded in a Outlook email to Excel.

The exporting piece is fine, however I am having troubles when saving. I would like to save the new file in a specific folder and the name should be the subject of the email.

I am having issues with the part in bold. If I use a specific file name (for example "\\xxx\docs\Testing\test.csv") , the file is saved with that name with no issues. However, if I try to make it dynamic using the subject of the email, the file is not saved. Can you help?

Below the entire code:

Code:
Sub ImportTableToExcel()Dim xMailItem As MailItem
Dim xTable As Word.Table
Dim xDoc As Word.Document
Dim xExcel As Excel.Application
Dim xWb As Workbook
Dim xWs As Worksheet
Dim I As Integer
Dim xRow As Integer
Dim xFilePath As String
Dim strSubject As String




On Error Resume Next
Set xExcel = New Excel.Application
Set xWb = xExcel.Workbooks.Add
xExcel.Visible = True
Set xWs = xWb.Sheets(1)
xRow = 1


For Each xMailItem In Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection
    Set xDoc = xMailItem.GetInspector.WordEditor
    For I = 1 To xDoc.Tables.count
        Set xTable = xDoc.Tables(I)
        xTable.Range.Copy
        xWs.Paste
        xRow = xRow + xTable.Rows.count + 1
        xWs.Range("A" & CStr(xRow)).Select
    Next
Next
 
strSubject = xMailItem.Subject


xFilePath = [B]"\\xxx\docs\Testing\" & strSubject[/B]


xWs.SaveAs xFilePath
xWs.Close


End Sub

Hi and welcome to the MrExcel board!

After For Each xMailItem In ... the object xMailItem becomes Nothing.
You can get subject of the last selected email by inserting of strSubject = xMailItem.Subject between Next: Next, like this:
Rich (BB code):
    Next
    strSubject = xMailItem.Subject ' This gets subject of the last selected email at the end of For-Each-Next
Next
 
'strSubject = xMailItem.Subject  ' xMailItem is Nothing here after For Each xMailItem In ...
Regards
