Question : Copy email into network folder

Hi Experts,

I need Experts help. Ever since I changed my Oulook from 2003 into 2007, seems like the attached script no longer working. I’m using this code to copy the sent item into network if the subject title is “TK:”. Hope Experts can help me to troubleshoot this.

          Dim WithEvents olkFolder As Outlook.Items

Private Sub Application_Quit()
    Set olkFolder = Nothing
End Sub

Private Sub Application_Startup()
    Set olkFolder = Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderSentMail).Items
End Sub

Private Sub olkFolder_ItemAdd(ByVal Item As Object)
    'Edit the condition on the next line'
      If InStr(1, Item.Subject, "TK:") Then
        'Edit the folder path on the next line'
        Item.SaveAs "\\bc04\Main\Data\Folder\" & RemoveIllegalCharacters(Item.Subject) & ".msg", olMSG
    End If
End Sub

Function RemoveIllegalCharacters(strValue As String) As String
    ' Purpose: Remove characters that cannot be in a filename from a string.'
    ' Written: 4/24/2009'
    ' Author:  BlueDevilFan'
    ' Outlook: All versions'
    RemoveIllegalCharacters = strValue
    RemoveIllegalCharacters = Replace(RemoveIllegalCharacters, "<", "")
    RemoveIllegalCharacters = Replace(RemoveIllegalCharacters, ">", "")
    RemoveIllegalCharacters = Replace(RemoveIllegalCharacters, ":", "")
    RemoveIllegalCharacters = Replace(RemoveIllegalCharacters, Chr(34), "'")
    RemoveIllegalCharacters = Replace(RemoveIllegalCharacters, "/", "")
    RemoveIllegalCharacters = Replace(RemoveIllegalCharacters, "\", "")
    RemoveIllegalCharacters = Replace(RemoveIllegalCharacters, "|", "")
    RemoveIllegalCharacters = Replace(RemoveIllegalCharacters, "?", "")
    RemoveIllegalCharacters = Replace(RemoveIllegalCharacters, "*", "")
End Function

No, because you call CurrentDb multiple times where you should call it once only.
Here is how for attaching tables in a backend file located in the same folder as the frontend.
You can easily modify it using the path for the backend as a parameter.
