Save email as text file
Using the enclosed code to restrict emails and then save each one as a text file to a directory. However, it chokes using the activeInspector statement and chokes without it. I am using Access 97 wiht the Outlook 98 reference library. What am I missing here. Addtionally, I will want to delete each message when I am done with it.
The error I get is
Object varibale or With Block variable not set..
Thx...
Public Sub getEmail()
' Dimension varibles
Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
Dim olNameSpace As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim olFolder As MAPIFolder
Dim olRestrictedItems As Outlook.Items
Dim olItem As MailItem
Dim olSaveItem As MailItem
Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Appl
Set olNameSpace = olApp.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
Set olFolder = olNameSpace.GetDefaultFold
Set olRestrictedItems = olFolder.Items.Restrict("[
For Each olItem In olRestrictedItems
'MsgBox olItem.Subject
Set olItem = olApp.ActiveInspector.curr
olItem.SaveAs "C:\My Documents\" & olItem.Subject & Date & Time() & ".txt", olTXT
Next
Set olApp = Nothing
Set olNameSpace = Nothing
Set olFolder = Nothing
Set olRestrictedItems = Nothing
Set olItem = Nothing
End Sub

This worked - my mistake. DAAA
Anyway - perhaps you could extend me something else for the 200 pts. I am looking for a way to recursively loop through all the folders in outlook. Do you have a code snippet that does this neatly?? Or can you put in the right direction.
Thx. I will give you the points anyway...

Sure, it would go something like this:
Sub RecurseChildFolders(objFol
dim objChild as Folder
debug.print tab(ilevel * 4); objFolder.Name
for each objChild in objFolder.Folders
RecurseChildFolders(objFol
next
end sub
By the way, I charge extra for simplicity :))

debug.print tab(ilevel * 4); objFolder.Name

Tim,
This did fix my problem.
I will repost the question for the recursive folder loop and give those points to the person that offered up the simple script for that.
Thanks to all.

You are including a date in the file name you are saving. That date has illegal characters for a file name. You can't use a forward slash in a file name.
