My code sorts emails based on attachment name. I need help with the else statement.
I want the emails that do not meet the parameters to move to the main inbox.
Right now any thing that does not meet parameters just moves to another folder.
What is the correct syntax?
Public WithEvents objMails As Outlook.Items
Private Sub Application_Startup()
Set objMails = Outlook.Application.Session.GetDefaultFolder (olFolderInbox).Items
End Sub
Private Sub objMails_ItemAdd(ByVal Item As Object)
Dim objMail As Outlook.MailItem
Dim objAttachments As Outlook.Attachments
Dim objAttachment As Outlook.Attachment
Dim strAttachmentName As String
Dim objInboxFolder As Outlook.Folder
Dim objTargetFolder As Outlook.Folder
"Ensure the incoming item is an email"
If TypeOf Item Is MailItem Then
Set objMail = Item
Set objAttachments = objMail.Attachments
"Check if the incoming email contains one or more attachments"
If objAttachments.Count > 0 Then
For Each objAttachment In objAttachments
strAttachmentName = objAttachment.DisplayName
Set objInboxFolder = Application.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
"Check the names of all the attachments"
"Specify the target folders"
If InStr(LCase(strAttachmentName), "some attachment name") > 0 Then
Set objTargetFolder = objInboxFolder.Folders("Target Folder")
Else: Set objTargetFolder = objInboxFolder.Folders("Target Folder 2")
End If
Next
Move the email to specific folder
objMail.Move objTargetFolder
End If
End If
Set objMail = Nothing
Set objAttachments = Nothing
Set objAttachment = Nothing
Set objInboxFolder = Nothing
Set objTargetFolder = Nothing
End Sub
You don't need to set the Inbox, Items are already in Inbox- all your doing is checking the newly add items to inbox has attachment name then move it
So your if statement should look like this
'Check if the incoming email contains one or more attachments"
If objAttachments.Count > 0 Then
For Each objAttachment In objAttachments
strAttachmentName = objAttachment.DisplayName
Set objInboxFolder = Application.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
If InStr(LCase(strAttachmentName), "attachment name") > 0 Then
Set objTargetFolder = objInboxFolder.Folders("Target Folder")
objMail.Move objTargetFolder
End If
Next
End If
Full Code should look like this
Option Explicit
Public WithEvents objMails As Outlook.Items
Private Sub Application_Startup()
Set objMails = Outlook.Application.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Items
End Sub
Private Sub objMails_ItemAdd(ByVal Item As Object)
Dim objMail As Outlook.MailItem
Dim objAttachments As Outlook.Attachments
Dim objAttachment As Outlook.Attachment
Dim strAttachmentName As String
Dim objInboxFolder As Outlook.Folder
Dim objTargetFolder As Outlook.Folder
Debug.Print "Items Add"
'"Ensure the incoming item is an email"
If TypeOf Item Is MailItem Then
Set objMail = Item
Set objAttachments = objMail.Attachments
' "Check if the incoming email contains one or more attachments"
If objAttachments.Count > 0 Then
For Each objAttachment In objAttachments
strAttachmentName = objAttachment.DisplayName
Debug.Print strAttachmentName
Set objInboxFolder = Application.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
If InStr(LCase(strAttachmentName), "attachment name") > 0 Then
Set objTargetFolder = objInboxFolder.Folders("Target Folder")
objMail.Move objTargetFolder
Debug.Print objAttachment.DisplayName
End If
Next
End If
End If
Set objMail = Nothing
Set objAttachments = Nothing
Set objAttachment = Nothing
Set objInboxFolder = Nothing
Set objTargetFolder = Nothing
End Sub
