Download and Save Attachment from Email Automatically to Excel - excel

Question

Currently my code listed below will copy body information from an incoming email and open the designated excel sheet and copy the contents onto the excel sheet and close it. I would also like to save attachments from incoming email to this designated path :C:\Users\ltorres\Desktop\Projects
I have tried this, but this code will not incorporate with outlook. I would have to run it with excel
Public Sub saveAttachtoDisk (itm As Outlook.MailItem)
Dim objAtt As Outlook.Attachment
Dim saveFolder As String
Dim dateFormat As String
saveFolder = "C:\Users\ltorres\Desktop\Projects"
dateFormat = Format(Now, "yyyy-mm-dd H-mm")
For Each objAtt In itm.Attachments
objAtt.SaveAsFile saveFolder & "\" & dateFormat & objAtt.DisplayName
Set objAtt = Nothing
Next
End Sub
Const xlUp As Long = -4162
Sub ExportToExcel(MyMail As MailItem)
Dim strID As String, olNS As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim olMail As Outlook.MailItem
Dim strFileName As String
'~~> Excel Variables
Dim oXLApp As Object, oXLwb As Object, oXLws As Object
Dim lRow As Long
strID = MyMail.EntryID
Set olNS = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set olMail = olNS.GetItemFromID(strID)
'~~> Establish an EXCEL application object
On Error Resume Next
Set oXLApp = GetObject(, "Excel.Application")
'~~> If not found then create new instance
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
Set oXLApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
End If
Err.Clear
On Error GoTo 0
'~~> Show Excel
oXLApp.Visible = True
'~~> Open the relevant file
Set oXLwb = oXLApp.Workbooks.Open("C:\Users\ltorres\Desktop\Projects\Project 2\TemplateFinal\lighting.xlsm")
'~~> Set the relevant output sheet. Change as applicable
Set oXLws = oXLwb.Sheets("Multiplier")
lRow = oXLws.Range("A" & oXLws.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1
'~~> Write to outlook
With oXLws
lRow = .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1
Dim MyAr() As String
MyAr = Split(olMail.Body, vbCrLf)
For i = LBound(MyAr) To UBound(MyAr)
.Range("A" & lRow).Value = MyAr(i)
lRow = lRow + 1
Next i
'
End With
'~~> Close and Clean up Excel
oXLwb.Close (True)
oXLApp.Quit
Set oXLws = Nothing
Set oXLwb = Nothing
Set oXLApp = Nothing
Set olMail = Nothing
Set olNS = Nothing
End Sub

Answer 1

To add to #Om3r response, you could add this code (untested) to the ThisOutlookSession module:
Private WithEvents objNewMailItems As Outlook.Items
Dim WithEvents TargetFolderItems As Items
Private Sub Application_Startup()
Dim ns As Outlook.NameSpace
Set ns = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
'Update to the correct Outlook folder.
Set TargetFolderItems = ns.Folders.item("Mailbox - Luis") _
.Folders.item("Inbox") _
.Folders.item("Lighting Emails").Items
End Sub
Sub TargetFolderItems_ItemAdd(ByVal item As Object)
SaveAtmt_ExportToExcel item
End Sub
This will watch the Lighting Emails folder (or whatever folder you choose) and execute the SaveAtmt_ExportToExcel procedure whenever an email arrives in that folder.
This will mean that Excel will open and close for each email. It will also interrupt whatever else you're doing to open Excel and execute - so will probably want to update so it only opens Excel once and to run the Outlook rule to place the emails in the correct folder once a day rather than always on.

Try it this way...
Update SaveFolder = "c:\temp\" and Workbooks.Open("C:\Temp\Book1.xlsx")
Tested on Outlook 2010
Public Sub SaveAtmt_ExportToExcel(Item As Outlook.MailItem)
Dim Atmt As Outlook.Attachment
Dim SaveFolder As String
Dim DateFormat As String
Dim strID As String, olNS As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim olMail As Outlook.MailItem
Dim strFileName As String
'~~> Excel Variables
Dim oXLApp As Object, oXLwb As Object, oXLws As Object
Dim lRow As Long
Dim i As Long
SaveFolder = "c:\temp\"
DateFormat = Format(Now, "yyyy-mm-dd H mm")
For Each Atmt In Item.Attachments
Atmt.SaveAsFile SaveFolder & "\" & DateFormat & " " & Atmt.DisplayName
Next
strID = Item.EntryID
Set olNS = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set olMail = olNS.GetItemFromID(strID)
'~~> Establish an EXCEL application object
On Error Resume Next
Set oXLApp = GetObject(, "Excel.Application")
'~~> If not found then create new instance
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
Set oXLApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
End If
Err.Clear
On Error GoTo 0
'~~> Show Excel
oXLApp.Visible = True
'~~> Open the relevant file
Set oXLwb = oXLApp.Workbooks.Open("C:\Temp\Book1.xlsx")
'~~> Set the relevant output sheet. Change as applicable
Set oXLws = oXLwb.Sheets("Multiplier")
lRow = oXLws.Range("A" & oXLws.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1
'~~> Write to outlook
With oXLws
lRow = .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1
Dim MyAr() As String
MyAr = Split(olMail.body, vbCrLf)
For i = LBound(MyAr) To UBound(MyAr)
.Range("A" & lRow).Value = MyAr(i)
lRow = lRow + 1
Next i
'
End With
'~~> Close and Clean
oXLwb.Close (True)
oXLApp.Quit
Set oXLws = Nothing
Set oXLwb = Nothing
Set oXLApp = Nothing
Set olMail = Nothing
Set olNS = Nothing
Set Atmt = Nothing
End Sub
