That means, there´s no Folder in Outlook called "Personal Folders". If you
run a German version e.g. that folder is called "Persönliche Ordner".

Thank you for your response. I really appreciate it.

I'm new at this and get the run-time error "The operation failed. An
object
could not be found" on line Set objFLDR = objNS.Folders("Personal
Folders")

I don't know enough to correct this.

Do you know why I'm getting it?

Thanks,
Leigh

I'm using Outlook 2002, but the following advice will probably work for
Outlook 2003. (You'll have to check.)

Have you tried the SaveAs method of the mail item object?
The SaveAs method takes the optional "Type" argument. You can specify
the
type as "olMsg".

Here's an example.

Dim objOL As Outlook.Application
Dim objNS As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim objFLDR As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim objSUBFLDR As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim objMI As Outlook.MailItem

Set objOL = New Outlook.Application
Set objNS = objOL.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set objFLDR = objNS.Folders("Personal Folders")
Set objSUBFLDR = objFLDR.Folders("Inbox")
If objSUBFLDR.Items.Count 0 Then
Set objMI = objSUBFLDR.Items(1)
objMI.SaveAs "C:\Temp.msg", olMSG
End If

Set objMI = Nothing
Set objSUBFLDR = Nothing
Set objFLDR = Nothing
Set objNS = Nothing
Set objOL = Nothing

The problem with the above code is that Outlook security will prompt you
when the macro runs, saying that a program is trying to access Outlook
data.
You will have to respond manually saying Yes (that's OK) or No. If this
intervention by security is a problem for you, then you would need to
write
code using the Redemption library (if that's still usable in Outlook
2003).

I have Outlook 2003. I want to be able to write a macro to do a File,
Save
As, then save the email in Outlook Message Format (e.g. .MSG) to a
particular
location (e.g. W:\EMAIL\).

Can anyone help me?

Thanks!
