Answered Outlook Rule - Saving Attachments

    I would like to create a rule in Outlook 2010 that, when I receive an email from a specific sender, to save the attachment to a network folder. Is this something that has to be done through coding?

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    Outlook doesn't have the option to automatically save attachments from messages. It mostly need to be achieved by VBA coding.

    Following is the sample of saving attachments in Outlook, you may modify the code to make it work with the rule:

    One last question. Everything is working right now but it's overwriting the file if that filename already exists. Is there something I can add that will add a (1) or something like that to the end of the filename so that it's not overwritten?

    Thanks again.
