Try using objItem instead of Item, since that's the variable that was declared.

From a post on 9.13.2005 the below thread was discussed. I am trying to
modify the suggested code to work for me in Outlook 2003 (11.8118.8122) SP2,
Office Professional edition.

When I try to run the macro it has a Compile Error: Can't find project or
library for the strname portion of this line
strname = Item.Subject
I have looked in the object brower and can not locate where this might be.
Any suggestions are most welcomed

Allans thanks for pointing me the right direction.
Below is my final code
It runs this on all emails in the inbox:
Copies the body of the email to to seperate new excel fromat files in a set
directory.
Deattaches all attachment to a directory
Makes a file of the all emails file name which were converted. This file is
then used to bring all the above data back together in one data base.

Thanks for your help
Hvae a good day

The saving of the actual email is still a question.
A bit of back ground
I receive an email in the same format each time and from the same
source.
I copy the body of the email into an excel sheet. By using the copy
and paste function then excel automatically convert all the info
into excel format.
The data is then converted into one line in a database
automatically.

Is there a Marco to save the email? As you would do manually with
"File" and "Save" from the menu. Like the attachment save macro you
sent me.

If not then what would be the Marco to copy the content of the email
ready to paste.
I use Ctrl/A and then Ctrl/C, from that I paste it into the excel
clean up file directly as text.

Then the macro can detach the attachments and I would have the email
content ready yo paste into excel. I already have the macro in excel
which takes it from the paste step through all the rest.


Hi Neil,

You can select multiple emails, the do File - Save (chose a path /
name) and save them all as a single text file.

Does that do what you need, or are you really needing to have copied
the text in the emails to the clipboard?

If the latter, then I am not sure. You can copy text in VBA, but I
cannot get it to then paste to excel automagically.

Perhaps I am missing something really obvious here! Perhaps the excel
app needs to exist as an object in the outlook app and / or vice versa
for it to work? I am not up on that kind of thing.

Alan.
