Issue with Class Module Outlook VBA
I am new to VBA and am trying to insert a class module to save an email that arrives to a sub-folder in the inbox called "My Folder" to a location on a sharedrive. I have the below code and have tried sending emails to test but it is not working and cannot figure out why. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Private WithEvents InboxItems As Outlook.Items
Sub Application_Startup()
Dim xNameSpace As Outlook.NameSpace
Set xNameSpace = Outlook.Application.Session
Set InboxItems = xNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set InboxItems = olFolder.Folders("My Folder")
End Sub
Private Sub InboxItems_ItemAdd(ByVal objItem As Object)
Dim FSO
Dim xMailItem As Outlook.MailItem
Dim xFilePath As String
Dim xRegEx
Dim xFileName As String
On Error Resume Next
xFilePath = CreateObject("WScript.Shell").SpecialFolders(16)
xFilePath = xFilePath & "File Path on Share Drive will be entered here"
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If FSO.FolderExists(xFilePath) = False Then
FSO.CreateFolder (xFilePath)
End If
Set xRegEx = CreateObject("vbscript.regexp")
xRegEx.Global = True
xRegEx.IgnoreCase = False
xRegEx.Pattern = "||/|<|>|""|:|*|\|?"
If objItem.Class = olMail Then
Set xMailItem = objItem
xFileName = xRegEx.Replace(xMailItem.Subject, "")
xMailItem.SaveAs xFilePath & "" & xFileName & ".msg", olMSG
End If
Exit Sub
End Sub

vba outlook
Never would try such thing in Outlook, even less in VBA. But just one question: how would the application know to callInboxItems_ItemAdd
? Where is it registered as event handler? If the method is fired, please be more specific on what exactly does not work and how exactly do you get notified about this. On the other hand: you setInboxItems
then you overwrite its value immediately, why?

Appreciate the response. Like I mentioned, I am new to VBA and am trying to piece together items that I find. It is certainly not my strong suit. I found a forum where people said the framework of the above worked for them in a similar manner, and I tried to tailor it to suit my needs. I just want outlook to save a copy of any email that comes to a specific folder to a location on a sharedrive. Are you saying you would never do such a thing? Thanks for your help

I would use .net to write a plugin for outlook... but that's my way. It is not that it would not work, I am just not a VBA fan, if there are better methods...

Shouldn't you useSet InboxItems = xNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Folders('My Folder')
? Are you sure, that ApplicationStartup is the place of initialization? Here docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/outlook.items.itemadd I see anInitialize_handler
override(?).

There were a few issues with the code that I saw. I have this working, make sure you add this to the ThisOutlookSession
object in the VBA IDE.
Private WithEvents InboxItems As Outlook.Items
Private Sub Application_Startup()
Dim outlookApp As Outlook.Application: Set outlookApp = Outlook.Application
Dim objectNS As Outlook.NameSpace: Set objectNS = outlookApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set InboxItems = objectNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Items
End Sub
Private Sub InboxItems_ItemAdd(ByVal Item As Object)
Dim FolderPath As String: FolderPath = "YOUR PATH HERE"
Dim FileName As String
Static FSO As Object
If FSO Is Nothing Then Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If FSO.FolderExists(FolderPath) = False Then FSO.CreateFolder FolderPath
With CreateObject("vbscript.regexp")
.Global = True
.IgnoreCase = False
.Pattern = "||/|<|>|""|:|*|\|?"
If Item.Class = olMail Then
FileName = .Replace(Item.Subject, vbNullString)
Item.SaveAs FolderPath & FileName & ".msg", olMSG
End If
End With
End Sub
Hi Ryan, thanks so much! Unfortunately, it is still not working on my end. I have sent multiple test emails. I am in a corporate environment and have tried using Public instead of Private. Do you have any suggestions to get this working? Really appreciate your help

The code should work, however, few things to check.Make sure you've updated the FolderPath variable. Make sure macros are enabled all the time. See: support.office.com/en-us/article/…. If that doesn't work, SaveAs apparently can be finicky. You might need to use Redemption. See: stackoverflow.com/questions/29148947/…

Never would try such thing in Outlook, even less in VBA. But just one question: how would the application know to call
InboxItems_ItemAdd
? Where is it registered as event handler? If the method is fired, please be more specific on what exactly does not work and how exactly do you get notified about this. On the other hand: you setInboxItems
then you overwrite its value immediately, why?– ZorgoZ

Appreciate the response. Like I mentioned, I am new to VBA and am trying to piece together items that I find. It is certainly not my strong suit. I found a forum where people said the framework of the above worked for them in a similar manner, and I tried to tailor it to suit my needs. I just want outlook to save a copy of any email that comes to a specific folder to a location on a sharedrive. Are you saying you would never do such a thing? Thanks for your help

I would use .net to write a plugin for outlook... but that's my way. It is not that it would not work, I am just not a VBA fan, if there are better methods...

Shouldn't you use
Set InboxItems = xNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Folders('My Folder')
? Are you sure, that ApplicationStartup is the place of initialization? Here docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/outlook.items.itemadd I see anInitialize_handler
override(?).– ZorgoZ

Just as option: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/vsto/…
