Save file in email attachment

[hutteto]

Hey

well I posted earlier asking how to open a file (.xls) that is an attachment in an email(Im using Outlook 2003) but so far noone has responded and I cant find anything on the internet on how to do this. So does anybody know of a way to save the .xls file attachment? Again I can count the number of attachments and retrieve the file names, but I dont know how to do anything else.

A bit more information about email-application please.

You need to know(get) URLs of attachments, and then InetGet()

What do you mean? Are you saying that instead of attachments, have links to the file and then get to the file by way of the link?

[GodlessSinner]

Yes, and I don't see another way to do that..

Well I've already been there and done that from another report I do. Here's how I accomplish opening the link:

;Reteives the URL from the email
    $ACIR_LINK_Extract = _Stringbetween($mBody, "http:",">")
    $ACIR_LINK_Complete = "http:" & $ACIR_LINK_Extract[0]
    ;Msgbox(0,"Actual Link: ", $ACIR_LINK_Complete)
    
    ;Opens the URL in a new IE window
    $oIE1 = _IECreate($ACIR_LINK_Complete)

Its a little irritating that you cant open an attachment. That seems like it would be a popular/important task. I see in Outlook there is an attachments option in the file menu. Anyway to save the attachments?

There is a saveasfile method in Outlook:

You can use it to save attachments.
