Default Inbox Rule: Auto Print Attachments


Set myOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
and
Dim myOlApp As New Outlook.Application
and
Set myOlApp = New Outlook.Application

are almost equal. From within Outlook don't use that. And then replace the
remaining 'myOlApp' by 'Application'. The reason is that Outlook runs
already, don't try to create a new instance (which however doesn't work but
may cause problems).

As I understand you, you have a rule calling that script for a particular
e-mail. In that case the rule passes a reference to the e-mail to the
script, it's the 'Item' variable in the script declaration. So there's no
need to search for the item again, neither by a loop or the Find function.

Many thanks, Michael.

I removed the loop, deleted the ref to Dim myOlApp, and inserted the
following with the name of the sender instead
of the NOS:

Set myOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set myNameSpace = myOlApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set myFolder = _
myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set myItem = myFolder.Items.Find _
("[SenderName] = 'NOS")


I think it should work, though not as clean as you would do. Any

comments
would be appreciated as I am trying to get better at this!

Don't loop through the Explorer.Selection, but use the Item object that

is
passed as an argument. Then edt the rule to call the script only if the
e-mail comes from the particular sender.

And, please, delete the
Dim myOlApp As New Outlook.Application
line.

As Outlook already runs your code you must not try to create a new
instance
of it. Then replace 'myOlApp' simply by 'Application'.

The following properly prints the attachments to a selected email in the
Inbox, but am trying to use it as a script in a Rule that only runs for

a
particular sender. I believe the problem that I am not "selecting" the
just-received email that triggers the rule. Any help would be
appreciated
